Perfection!

"For those of you who were disappointed in Big Dream Boulevard (I was not one of them) because of what you felt was over-production, you'll be in heaven with 'The Near Demise of the High Wire Dancer.' I have seen Antje several times and this cd is as close to a live performance as you can get without actually being live. 'Long Way'... 'Dublin Boys'...every single song---this is a gorgeous cd...not a single clunker...it's all delicious!

Outstanding

"Every ten years or so, I hear a song that feels like a life anthem. The first time I heard "The Bridge" on XM, I knew I had to have this CD. I'm not in the least bit disappointed with the other 10 songs.



Duvekot has a soft voice that lends itself to stories. She speaks of deep personal issues in one verse and then takes you high above the crowds in a circus the next without missing a beat. Her circus themes remind me of the late-great Jimmie Spheeris.



I really cannot add much more to the accolades the top folk artists have added to this CD above. Duvekot is a stellar addition to the folk scene.



My favorites:



The Bridge--a life anthem, a eulogy

The Scream--sharp as a knife

Dublin Boys--takes you there



Rebecca Kyle, June 2009"
Mellow, lyrical folk

"Antje Duvekot's latest album is everything I look for in modern acoustic folk--sweet and sad, poetic and inventive. She manages to bring fresh imagery to the timeless subject matter of longing, loss, love, loneliness and vulnerability. Her voice reminds me of a younger Shawn Colvin in its straightforward husky sweetness, and the clean-lined arrangements allow it to shine through. My favorite track is the opening waltz, Vertigo, but there's not a bad song on this CD. Great for cruising country roads in the car."
