Exciting arrangements sung by Evy Mayer and Jean Farnworth.
This duo is a fine example
of what I think of as contemporary traditional musicians, who sing
about modern life with the same spirit troubadours of the 19th century
sang about their contemporary lives. This is a very engaging, charming album."
(Christine Lavin's Top 46 Best of the "Sunday Breakfast" - WFUV 90.7 FM)
"This generous collection of 16 numbers is a well-produced, highly
eclectic mix of songs, which showcases both performers' talents as vocalists,
instrumentalists and interpreters... An outstanding aspect of this album
is the ability of both Jean and Evy to tailor their vocal and emotional range
to each song... In sum, this is a grand buffet, truly "Soup To Nuts".
(Joanne Davis for The Folk Music Society of New York newsletter)
