An up and coming Bard
author: Sherron
I've been waiting so long for this CD -- had previewed 4 of the songs on MySpace after finding her through Flynn's Folly. Was not disappointed by the rest of the album. Melanie has a wonderful clear voice, she plays well, and she writes songs that are worth listening to again and again. Some have humor, some have suspense and chills -- all are memorable. I'll be recommending this to many.

A delightful CD! You will find yourself swaying to the slower songs and tapping your feet to the faster ones. So, grab some Shepherd's Pie, sit back, listen to the lovely lass's voice and the beautiful music accompanying her. You will be singing along before you realize it. (But don't sing with your mouth full of Shepherd's Pie)
I love the entire CD but Seasons Rising, track 8, Fortunate, track 9 and The Irish Medley of Epic Proportions, track 13 are my most favorite. Track 13 makes me laugh each time I hear it. LOL
Way to go, Season's Melody!

A delightful performer that we first heard at the Scarborough Faire this spring. We liked her so much that we made a second trip of 200 miles to buy her cd. It was worth the trip.

A lovely, fresh voice
author: Matt R
A real treat for anyone who enjoys pure folk music. Melanie's voice is beautifully flexible, and she masters the gamut of styles from whimsy ("Fortunate") to wistfulness ("Season's Rising"), and all points in between with a freshness that will make you listen to old favorites with a new appreciation. Clear vocals and beautiful guitar accompaniment make this album one you will want to play again and again. Highly recommended.
