"Whether wrapped in the luscious textures of Andrew Giddings' production or lonely as a new-born lamb at Christmas with only a well-travelled acoustic guitar for company, Vyktoria Pratt Keating never fails to deliver the message. The touching, provocative and observational songs pierce the heart, the soul and - if you buy this record - the wallet.
Truly the troubadour, VPK combines age-old songstress seduction with technical expertise and offers up the musings of the thinking, feeling and sometimes vulnerable female presence, so much a part of contemporary music making."
Ian Anderson

Things That Fall From The Sky
author: Dan
Hi Vyktoria,
I enjoyed what I heard today. I wish you would have Martin Barre play on your next album, and you sing on his next album. Being an artist, I have longed to do someone's album cover. How about yours? I live in Illinois (the USA). I look foreward to getting this album and others too.

An elixer, administered through the ears.
author: Neal Brooks
It's like sweet and sticky and invigorating. You just want to surround yourself with speakers while sitting blindfolded. This is one of those recordings which you can't listen to just one hit and ignore the rest, or play tracks at random. Like a movie or a play, you start at the beginning and stay 'till the end while it takes you on a journey.

Fresh music, nicely rendered, reveals more with every listen!
author: Slawman57
Heard a selection from this CD on Radio Paradise (www.radioparadise.com) and purchased shortly after. VPK and co-conspirator AG seem to have abandoned every cliche' in the book on this CD, which is a wonderful thing! Combining complex arrangements with memorable melodies and eclectic lyrics, this sonic marvel is a treat for the ears, head, and heart, revealing more and varied levels of detail and meaning with each listening. Highly recommended!

Why isn't she famous?
author: Tom C
I first encountered Vyktoria Pratt Keating in a very small club in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. In most small clubs, the performers can be safely ignored. I'll admit that even had she never started singing I couldn't have ignored her, she is simply lovely -- earthy-pretty red-haired Irish peasant with a great ironic intelligent smile.
When she started singing she took just about all my attention. It was like listening to an undiscovered Joni Mitchell in some Canadian dive in 1965. Between sets I asked her why she wasn't famous, a subject on which she has considered opinions. Wonderfully quick mind, great sense of humor, a completely alive woman. After the last set I bought two of her CDs.
This latest CD might be her best.
I have listened to her CDs now for maybe two hundred hours, repeating individual songs again and again on my stereo and my computer. She obviously impressed the hell out of Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson, and she continues to impress the hell out of me.
