Album Notes

"New Hampshire singer-songwriter Jodi Shaw has an amazing, beautiful voice that powers these eleven well-crafted tunes. Uplifting and poignant, Shaw has an uncanny ability to verbalize situations and experiences into universally accepted themes. Her guitar playing is also superb as she displays a flawless fingerpicking technique as well as a mastery of the full acoustic strum . . . Don't expect to find any filler on The Myth of Patience because Shaw's songwriting is just as moving as her performances. For an in-depth look at Jodi Shaw, check out the cover story in the June 2001 issue of Metronome."
-Douglas Sloan, Metronome Magazine, July 2001 (Boston, MA)

"Excellent vocals and lyrical beauty is difficult to come by, but there is no shortage of that here . . . This is just good music. What more could you want?"
-Michael Allison at www.theglobalmuse.com, Dec. 2000

"Jodi Shaw is a great new find on the local music scene."
-Ken Morris, Music Manager, Barnes & Nobles, (Portsmouth, NH)

"This singer-songwriter from Dover, NH is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of indie-alt-folk. . . Laughs, loves and losses, in any order, gut-wrenched between some beautiful tunes, topped off with a lite, creamy voice . . ."
-Ben Ohman at www.atnzone.com, Nov. 2000

"The Myth of Patience is a perplexing pop gem with hints of folk flavored throughout for one five-star favorite . . . Jodi's strong yet sometimes angelic and breathy voice takes you on a trip far beyond the lyrical tale itself."
-Melyssa A. Harmon, Get Fancy! Magazine, Feb. 2001 (Evergreen, WA)

" . . . it's Jodi Shaw's songwriting that is the real star here. Ranging from folksy, acoustic ballads to extremely non-threatening electric pop-rock, her voice carries some truly reflective and poignant lyrics to the front of the mix, allowing for an overall effect that is as hypnotic as it is intriguing; Jodi Shaw, the siren of Dover."
-Jamie Perkins, Foster's Daily Democrat Showcase Magazine, Feb. 22, 2001 (Dover, NH)
