Wow, what a great album

"I was very excited to get my hands on this CD. Her first, Patchwork Heart is one of our favorites. This CD does not disappoint. True to form, Valerie covers a lot of ground. My favorite is Dancing By The River, a country swing tune about the family picnic's on the Mississippi River. Big Ole Train uses some great harmony technique to evoke the sound of a trains horn echoing thru a valley. Don't miss the dark Simpsons Holler, and the haunting Oh Mandolin. As usual Valerie has a list of guests on this album that read like a who's who in Nashville. Its a must have for fans of easy going Americana that will keep you bouncing in your seat or Dancing By The River."
Great Follow-Up

"Sometimes you have a great record and a follow-up that is somehow weaker. Not here, Valerie's second album is as good as number one, great new material, lots of variety, and, of course, her fantastic voice. I can't make a decision which album is better, "Patchwork Heart" or "Turtle Wings", they are both amazing!"
