"I've had this CD for nearly two years and I still listen to it all the time. Tara has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard, and her lyrics are poetic and inspiring. I am also a huge Sarah McLachlan fan and find the two to be somewhat alike. The only reason I didn't give this CD five stars was because the songs tend to be a little bit monotonous. However, they're all gorgeous, especially "Evidence," "That's Me," and "More." If you're looking for an artist who can actually sing (that's unusual these days!) and write lyrics like you've never heard, Tara MacLean is definitely for you. I'd been wondering where Passenger was- I've been waiting since September!- and now I just found out it's only available in Canada. I'm sad. =("
Beautiful lyrics and music, intelligence, and vocal talent.

"I first heard "Holy Tears" while watching the show "Due South," and I was instantly moved by Tara MacClean's music. I went and sought out first the "Due South" soundtrack, and then her album, buying the last in the store. It hardly ever leaves my CD player now. Her voice is amazing, with its incredible range, and her lyrics relate to just about anyone's life. She has a new song on "Teaching Mrs. Tingle," which I think everyone here should buy. I know I'm going to."

"Last night I visited a coffee shop in Austin Texas to hear Tara MacLean perform. There are no words that will adequately convey the tremendous powerful, gentleness of her voice. Tara is extremely gratious to her audience, and performs in a way, that is intimate and invites the listener into her heart and soul. Of course at the end of the show, I purchased her EP "If You See Me" and before leaving Austin, had to stop at a local record shop and purchase her previously released album. My body, heart, and soul were encapsulated by the passion and emotion that she pours into each of her songs (both vocally and lyrically). Tara's music is the kind of music that will bring chills, tears, joy, and hope to the lives of everyone that ''listens'' to her passionate delivery of her gift. Embrace this music, and you will realize all of this and more."
Worth Every Penny.

"This CD was recormended to me by amazon and i liked the look of it and was not disapointed. If you are into Sarah Mclaclhan you will like this. Although Sarah Mclaclhan may offer more varitey within her music Tara's voice is much her equal. I was more impressed with the last few songs from "holy tears" to "let her feel the rain" the acoustic version. I loved 'for you' and 'let her feel the rain' is an amazing song. Anyone who reads this should buy it as i know that it would be a stong contender for the only cd i would take to the moon if i had to pick one. If anyone knows where i can get her new album please mail me thanks."
If you love Sara MacLachlan, you will love Tara!

"I first heard her at Lilith Fair and fell in love! Her voice is so pure and crisp, it is almost haunting. Her lyrics are really touching. She has been a big star in Canada for years but it has taken her awhile to gain popularity in the U.S.
But if you like singer like Sarah and Dido, you will love Tara MacLean too!"
