Superb CD!!
author: Ryan Carr
This album is without a doubt the best autoharp CD around.. I live in the UK and here there are not many autoharpists therefore this album is a great inspiration and a must-have for anybody's bluegrass, country, or acoustic collection!! Jo Ann's use of complex and non-standard chords revolutionises the way in which the autoharp is seen, heard and played!!!..

What a truly amazing lady Jo Ann is!
author: Anthony Archibald
If only I had been able to have access to such wonderful playing as this, I might have been able to do more with my own autoharp than I do. This record deserves to be at the top of all record charts anywhere in the world. I live in the Isle of Man and have been playing my own instrument lately at folk clubs and people are excited by it as it is a bit of a novelty here, but they would go exstatic if they were able to hear Jo Ann.
I am a new born fan of this music. More please!

Our Lady of the Autoharp
author: Chuck Cliff
I was most pleasently pleased both by how quickly the CD arrived all the way over here in Denmark but ever more so by the music. I had my doubts because there would accompanying muscians, but the music was really nicely welded together.
My only disappointment is that "Hewlett" was notone of the numbers -- but this, I hope, will be rectified on a 2nd production :-)

Very skillful use of the diatonic autoharp
author: Jesse Plymale
Jo Ann is a masterful autoharp player. This CD has some great fast bluegrass tunes, along with some songs with vocals and some slower reflective melodies. The backup musicians are good too, but the autoharp shines through the most.
