With this album, Larue proves she is one of the best around.

"Fan of the Baltimore Consort have long appreciated Custer Larue's talent. This collection of ballads will delight these followers and win her new listeners. The selection of material is well-considered and the delivery is flawless."
Haunting folk melodies...

"This is a wonderful CD, a compilation of other Custer LaRue albums. As an introduction to her style of folk, this CD would be an excellent choice.In many ways, I was reminded of Loreena McKennett's work, except that this was not a Celtic album. However, LaRue's high, haunting voice creates a somewhat similar soundscape.A cross between lullabies and traditional folk tunes, both in French and English, the "Ballads" album is a fine sampling of tunes from early America that have all but passed into oblivion. I highly recommend this album if you'd like a different kind of folk sound, or if you like McKennett's Celtic work and would like a to sample similar style or artist."
Just beautiful

"This is the second album I purchased by Custer LaRue and I love it. Her voice is as sweetly melodious as ever and the songs, haunting at times, uplifting at others, are memorable. I am especially fond of some of the traditional French songs. My French is shaky, so if anyone can provide a translation it would be greatly appreciated!Anyway, buy the album. If you are a fan of traditional folk music you won't be disappointed."
