RECENT REVIEWS:
Performing Songwriter - "Sexy, self-possessed and impressive...a performer to be taken seriously, a force to be reckoned with."
The Boston Globe - "She is a forthright, sassy, twentysomething New Yorker, with an independent drive...a strong voice that rings with despair, passion, anger, hope, and glory. Watch out for Rachael Sage."
The Village Voice - "Earthiness, color and emotion...Sage has folk on the brain and piano keys for hands and is sure to put on a show sublime."
Album Network - "Her music is deeply personal and sometimes quirky, her adeptness at blending in various ethnic tonalities gives her a sound that is universal in appeal."
HX For Her - "Rachael Sage is a beauty. She's a talented pianist. She's a folk singer with an amazing voice."

Beautiful vocals, great hooks
author: Todd
I bought this album purely on recommendations and listening to a few sound clips. From the moment the first song started, I was hooked. Rachael has a unique voice and she puts it to good use. The piano playing is inspired, and the backup instruments include strings as well as guitars. Some songs rock, others are mellow, but they all have a deep texture, a tapestry of instruments that is often lacking from pop/rock music. These songs have depth, and the lyrics show why Rachael has won songwriting awards. Go buy this album - but be warned - it takes 2 or 3 listens for the songs' hooks to grab you. After that, they'll be in your head all the time.
