"If you like cool WOMYN artists like Ani and the Indigo Girls, you will probably like Jen Schwartz! Her lyrics are good and best of all, she plays every instrument on the CD!"

"Having listened to this CD recently. I was very surprised that someone is talented enough to play all the instruments & arrange all the songs. This is a piece of work that should get recognised for the commitment to actually be able to finish the album on ones own time. using every bit of lifes experience to produce a moving talented album."

"I am a dj for a college staion and came across this cd there. From one track to the next there is sometimes so much contract that one cannot believe it is the same artist. Awesome cd, have enjoyed it very much."
