Wow.. Just WOW
author: Sheri Solomon
The choice of songs that you shared, familiar and new, and all perfectly sung. With such wonderful instruments right there with the voices -- carrying me from one song to the next.. Thank goodness my computer can play it over and over. Between this and Moonglow, I am in love with this group. Need MORE!! keep recording, and offering to us who live so far away the chance to 'almost be there' live with you.. SHERI in Washington State

Pure and unpretentious.
author: Harold Appel
This music is pure and unpretentious with wonderful musicianship surrounding Annie's clear and sincere delivery. We need more of this in today's world full of image over substance.

Love this CD
author: Kelly Nishan
I had bought this CD at the Old Songs Festival in Altamont NY last summer were the group preformed and was so upset when it got ruined. It was a happy day to find it available at CD Baby. All the songs are great and fun to sing along with and Annie's voice is awesome. It's a nice mix of happy, fun songs and thoughtful,sweet songs. I love, love, love this cd.
