A pure tribute to the art of music and music production
author: Mark Lester
For those interested not only in good music, but in quality music production, this CD is a must. It is refreshing to here songs written from the soul by musicians who clearly place the art of music ahead of ample individual talents. As for Christine Yandell's incredible voice, think Edie Brickel meets a contented Alanis Morissette.

Fine original songs with great vocals backed by superb guitar playing
author: John Hudock
I've heard Sweetbird perform live on at least three occasions and have both of their CDs. Christine as a crystal clear, beautifully toned voice. Backed by Steve's superb guitar playing on a large variety of guitars, from his custom 12-string to a range of acoustic and electric guitars, make for an extremely satisfying musical experience. This CD contains all original songs (at their live shows they also do some wonderful covers and I wish Steve would record their wonderful versions of Etta James' At Last and Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time). Their own songs are no disappointment though, with lovely and memorable melodies combined with lyrics that cover the full spectrum from pathos to humor, simple and sweet to sophisticated. I highly recommend this CD.

Soul Fire rivals Free Spirit Reflection
author: Joe Masulli
After a stunning first release (Free Spirit Refection) many bands pale in comparison on their next effort- this most certainly is not the case with Sweetbird ! The addition of a horn section and full band arrangements takes their music that much farther. Having said that, my personal favorites are simply Christine's vocals and Steve's guitar. The hauntingly, beautiful October's Child stopped me in my tracks at first listen and Forever , one of the most beautiful , yet so very sad love songs ever. Sweetbird's music does not fit into neat little boxes and defies categorization- what I can say is that Sweetbird's music does for me , spiritually , what music is supposed to do- Please buy this cd-you will not be disappointed!
