Stu Weaver, WFCF-FM, FL

No one else in contemporary folk is as adept at writing emotionally charged lyrics, let alone performing them with as achingly beautiful a voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great find!, August 12, 2002

This review is from: These Are the Roots (Audio CD)

I luckily stumbled on this just browsing the internet.
Diane Zeigler has a talent for writing songs and a very beautiful voice. Her lyrics somewhat remind me of singer/songwriter Lynn Miles in that they are very poetic and uncontrived. I personally love Diane's "Winter Sun" cut. This song, alone, was the clincher for me. This is a CD you don't want to pass up!

What a unique talent!! I had been jonesing for more DZ since "Honeybee" and got this CD at the same time as "Paintbrush". Both are terrific, but this one is a MUST BUY. I am competely stuck on the cuts "These Are The Roots" and "Listen To The Timber Fall". DZ's voice sounds even better with Barry Stockwell's harmonies, and the way the electric guitars take off on "Timber" is the reason CD players come with "repeat" buttons. DZ is never precious, always smart and accessible, and infinitely listenable. This release is made rich with (gulp) accordian, pump organ, mandolin, and a variety of backing vocals (but Stockwell's is best). Listen to "...Roots" and "...Timber" and tell me I am wrong. Better yet, buy this CD and discover your own favorites.

Diane Z. had to take breaks from touring after each of her two CDs-first, she had a baby, then, after this CD, she had to have hand surgery-it's too bad, because she is great live, and these CDs, especially "These Are the Roots" need to be heard-"The Legend of Enoch Arden" is enough to make the purchase worth it!
