I
want to take a moment to thank every one out there who has been
so supportive towards me, my band, and the new cd. I can't do
it without you! Sing Desire was recently reviewed in the
Netherlands Magazine Heaven,

(Excerpt from a review in Heaven/Netherlands March 03)
..."When the cd arrived about a week later, I immediately
put in into my cd-player. Within the first thirty seconds I
was won over. What a beautiful atmosphere, what a beautiful
song, but above all what a beautiful voice, like a more vulnerable
Lucinda Williams with a hint of Emmylou Harris. And all in a
perfect setting that at the same time was more rootsy as well
as more modern than on Lucindaâžs latest offering. I was
deeply moved, a feeling that remained for the whole album because
all the songs on Sing Desire were stunningly beautiful, each
one with its own unique elements to support that intensely melancholic
voice. A trumpet here, a violin there, a harmonium, banjo or
basic salsa-rhythm, every element just as imaginative as tasteful.
Elements that also stay interesting, so that I now, twenty-odd
spins later, don't hesitate to declare Sing Desire to be more
pure, more heartbreaking, more imaginative than either Lucinda
William's Essence or Rise by Kim Richey."
