"I actually saw Cheryl Anne Roach perform live here in Los Angeles and was blown away! Her versatility and voice are impressive. I immediatly had to purchase "In The Mornin'." This selection of classic, sacred pieces fills your spirit. The title track, In The Mornin', is a breath of fresh air, and her spirituals take me back to my childhood."

"Cheryl's voice and this CD are truly amazing. The styles range from the energy of "Gospel of Grace" to the sublime beauty of Poulenc's "Prayer for Peace." It brings tears to my eyes every time I listen."

"I'm normally not one to write reviews, but I happened to read the mean-spirited review below and I had to respond. I recently purchased this album and have enjoyed it thoroughly. I am also a classical musician, as the former reviewer was so careful to proclaim, although I can't brag about hearing every voice on the market today (is that even possible?). What I loved about this CD was the variety of repertoire and the fact that it was obviously recorded live. It gives me the feeling of being present at an intimate vocal recital. I especially like the Wolf songs and the Ravel "Kaddish." Serious art music is not for everyone, but those who are looking for a taste of what a lovely, rich, expressive voice can offer will not be disappointed."
