"..I can imagine unraveling Kate (Bush)'s early sound like a three-strand braid, separating it into Susan, Tori Amos and Emily Bezar, Emily's strand the operatic one, Tori's the emotional candor, and Susan's the rational grounding for the other two." -glenn mcdonald, furia.com

"..Where other piano goddesses like Tori Amos and Fiona Apple keep the piano front and center, Court's piano works more as the backbone... Lyrically, ...when she delves into the personal, ...it is pure magic." -The Seattle Rocket

Delectable stuff, here....

Delectable stuff, here.... It's as if her inspiration comes from earthy dreams, a little surreal but just this side of truth. Cozily cognizant, and sometimes downright amazing. Lyric sheet included.

This is very nice music, Ms. Court has studied Kate Bush very carefully. I really like the "storybook" aspect of the songs.

Wow. 'Blight and Bonny' is a fabulous song, and the rest of the album is impossible to stop listening to. I like to play this on the way to work.
