Impressive cross-genre CD
author: RadioIndy.com
No Turning Back from songstress Rose Coen is literally a work of art that has been produced phenomenally. From the opening upbeat positive tune "Follow The Wind" to the sultry number "Dance," this CD is filled with strong songwriting and beautiful harmonies. To say that Rose Coen's music settles into any particular genre is impossible. We hear elements of folk, rock, bluegrass, country, jazz, gospel, and more. The lyrics on the tracks we reviewed were well thought-out and the musicianship impressive. "No One Left to Lie to" and "I've Been Blind" are filled with impressive and clean guitar runs, and hook-filled choruses with nicely-blended harmonies. With its many impressive elements, this CD is well worth a listen.

Exciting, original debut
author: NY Fan
This is an exciting debut for a terrific new artist. The music is heartfelt, the lyrics poetic and never trite. Coen's voice is warm and agile. Initial favorite songs are PIECE OF HEAVEN, BEEN A LONG TIME and JESUS IN NASHVILLE. To paraphrase the chorus in the latter, there is definately something worth saving in this talented new singer/songwriter.
