Karen Segal has the rare gift of uniquely expressing herself through her instrument, the guitar. When I listen to her play I see images, I feel things, I am transported to a non-linear language that is all her own. Her new CD is full of color, warmth, passion, and play. the production quality is superb and and the arrangements are stellar. She is an original voice in music and is worth getting to know.
