Strong Lyrics, Great Voice

"Jennifer Daniels' range and talent are evident in Summer Filled Sky, and some of her personality comes through as well. Sadly, nothing can replace the experience of hearing her live; but the CD is an acceptable substitute. Daniels moves easily from folksy ballads to energetic rock. Her voice is crystal-clear and admirably subtle. For me, though, its her lyrics that drive the music. Daniels has a gift for clever phrases and beautiful images that stick around long after the music has faded. I highly recommend the CD, and I even more strongly encourage you to hear her live."
Southern songwriter with strong voice

"Jennifer Daniles is a brilliant singer songwriter with strong influences in the Celtic and folk traditions. her singing voice moves from soft and lilting to strong and empowering. anyone looking for quality "rootsy" music with strong melodies and insightful lyrics should look no further. the one drawback to this CD compared to her previous "Dive and Fly" is the musical arrangements focus more on the electric guitar rather than the more atmospheric and textured acoustic arrangments of her earlier records. so while the songs are all beautiful, they can be at times lacking in intimacy"
