"Carol McComb's album is delicious. Not a steady folk, country, bluegrass listener, this album has turned me into a rabid fan. The blend of styles and instruments is a rich sampling and there is something for everyone here. The richness of the music, the weaving of the instruments and Carol's voice leaves me wanting more. The album spans various styles - from the country lamentations of "Dreaming in Three Quarter Time" to the blugrass feel of "A Little Bit of Heaven" to one of the songs ending in accapella almost african rhythm chanting.I play the album in my car and find myself singing the songs throughout the day. A sure sign of success.If you like bluegrass, folk, country or even the song stylings of other female singers lik KD Lang or Patsy Cline or even Joni Mitchell - you will love this album"
We love these songs

"It isn't often that you find a CD that is both enjoyable and memorable from start finish. Little Bit of Heaven is that and more. Every song on this CD is a gem and we find ourselves listening to it repeatedly. If you like a smooth female voice that can handle folk, country, jazz or lullabies with equal ease you'll love this CD. We recommend Little Bit of Heaven whole-heartedly."

"My daughter gave me this album for Christmas last year and it has an honored place in my library, but it isn't there often because it's in my player. It's a jewel of an album. Carol's music and lyrics are right on the nose and push all the right buttons. I've listened to it many times and it's always fresh."
More than a "Little Bit ..."

"This CD contains beautiful harmonic all-original songs (folk/western/bluegrassy blend) with 10 great musicians joining Carol McComb -- a treasure! I'll listen to this lively CD many, many times. Great beat and melody. The lyrics (included with CD) are clever, funny (mostly), touching and wise. There are 12 songs. Some CD's have 3 songs you really like. This has 10 I love. It's more than a "LITTLE BIT of Heaven"."
