This is a record that will make your heart sing. What critics say about Ellynne: 'Not only does Ellynne make it work [singing with just guitar and bass], she makes it magical. It just goes to show, if you have the voice and if you have the material, you don't need all that lavish production. To coin a cliche, less is more...' Jack Goodstein/Seattle PI '...This combination is both deliberate and precise. This combination leaves no place to hide unveiling true tonal character from start to finish... Enjoyable session! 4/4' D. Oscar Groomes/O's Place Magazine '...A fine new singer with both talent and taste.' Phillip McNally/Cadence Magazine.
