“This track is definitely a highlight -- not just of this collection of B-sides, but of all of Joan as Police Woman's songs. It's a Bowie cover, but she really makes the song her own, giving it an intimate whisper that's a pleasant contrast to the original. The minimalist piano echo of Bowie's guitar theme is a wonderful touch!”

“I've been listening to women singer-songwriters since Joni Mitchell's mid career stuff, and I'm kind of hard to impress as a result. This artist impressed me right away. I only had to hear one song to know I wanted this whole album.”

“TO say she sounds like or is similar to Tori Amos, Ani Difranco, Louisa John-Krol, or Loreena McKennit would be inaccurate.
But she, like all four other singers, has a quality to her voice that is powerful, unique, and indescribable--but it most certainly draws you in and makes you long for more. Each woman could be a bard, in the most classic sense, and be very effective.”
