"I've admired Judith Edelman since I caught her in London a couple of years ago. She writes wonderful lyrics - intelligent and poetic, with a nice line in wry humour, some telling metaphors, and not a cliche in sight. And the tunes are just as good as the lyrics. This marvellous album also benefits from great playing from the likes of Matt Flinner (whose new album "The View from Here" is also a must-have). Buy this album - I love it and find that it keeps giving pleasure long after most better known artistes have gone decidedly stale."

Incredible Voice, Incredible Songs

"Edelman is taking modern bluegrass and its lyrical beauty into the 2000s, with songs and spirit that pick up where the gifted Alison Krauss leaves off. The title track should be used in a film, it's so distinct and unique. Go girl!"

Judith Edelman rules!

"Although new musical forces are sometimes difficult to categorize, Duke Ellington said it best. "There are two kinds of music: good and bad."Judith Edelman is good. Very good. From her crystal-clear, hard-driving vocals and intriguing lyricism to the addictive melodies and virtuosity of the assembled musicians, this album is one I will keep at the front of my rack for years. I recently caught this band at the McCall Music Festival and bought multiple copies of this CD and "Perfect World," her first effort, for gifts. I don't usually buy more than one copy of anything...I hope these two works are just the beginning, and that we get to realize her potential as the years go by."
