5.0 out of 5 stars I Listen to This One Over and Over..., July 25, 2002

I absolutely love Maura O'Connell's voice, and while I like all of her albums, Stories is the one that I play over and over, the one that I take on road trips, the one that I pretty much have memorized. A really fine mix of songs---my especial favorite is "Half Moon Bay," a haunting memory-song which never fails to get me weepy. If you're buying your first O'Connell album, this would definitely be my recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Find, April 1, 2001

There is something about Maura O'Connell's voice, that is just enchanting - to the point that I purchased 3 CDS - (2 from a local retailer, and another from Amazon without even hearing any of the songs), in the space of 4 hours.

Stories was the first album I heard - way back in 1997 - and I have been hooked on this voice ever since.

To be honest, this voice just hits a chord deep inside. Give her a listen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable! One of my all-time favorites., December 21, 2003

On a trip to Big Sur and surrounding areas, I had only this CD to listen to for over 15 hours of driving -- not even the radio worked. And I still couldn't get enough. And now here I am, years later, still listening to the CD on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Ordinary Day is a painting of a song. And Maura's vocal on Poetic Justice is as beautiful as anytthing ever recorded. Get this CD and you will have no regrets.
