Album Notes

"Singers, songwriters, musicians, and peace activists Steve and Kristi Nebel (pronounced “knee-bull”) certainly make beautiful music together. The casual listener might generalize their work as folk, or easy listening, but their music is so much more than that. The couple’s creative artistry shines so brightly on this unique album, and past releases that perhaps “American music for all people” better suits the breadth of their repertoire as their socially conscious songs embrace all of humanity with compassion and warmth.
“Raven Speaks” offers so much variety you will be listening to it for a good long time. It includes 18 tracks altogether, making it a great value in which to invest your music money." Matt Nagle – The Tacoma Weekly

"'I feel like the paper bag that holds the bottle', and you begin to die and rise and die again in the most gut wrenching vocals on "Let Them Knock You Down". I was crying. Equally powerful was "Joe the Jarhead" and the vocals on Nothing Good gonna happen. And I was relieved to have some of the tension snapped by "Beer Beautiful Beer". [It was] so fun. Thanks for inspiring me as I try to figure out if I am dancing with the devil or waltzing with the Lord in my gift of frustration and the 100 voices I hear in my own head." Paul Stierle (Cowboy Buck)
