REVIEWS

West Virginia Woman
author: Carolyn H Sturgill
I owned this recording when it was first released as an LP in 1983....I loved it. I worked for Appalshop In Whitesburg, KY and played the song Maggie on WMMT, Appalshop's radio station where I was a volunteer DJ. I loaned the album to someone and never got it back. It has always had a place in my heart and I'm so thrilled that I have found it again. Karen has such a great voice and style of singing....I feel that I'm in Scotland or Ireland.....Good luck to you and your recording career. Carolyn S.

Hollywood Elementary School Memories
author: Tiffany
I was introduced to Karen's music as a young child when she performed at my elementary school in the early 80's. Hearing these songs brings back wonderful memories of watching her sing during assemblies as well as teaching me how to play the dulcimer I made at school. I now have children of my own and am thrilled to know that I can expose them to the wonderful sound I had the privilege of hearing live as a child.
