"I got ahead of this album several years ago when it was Doria's first. I fell in love with her after hearing the song 5am. She is amazing. A truly unique individual with her spiritually awaking lyrics and melodies. I can honestly say I feel she is NOTHING like Ani. I personally can't stand Ani, but Doria, she's got it all. If you haven't picked up this album yet then you're missing something really special. No one should enter into the world without hearing Doria's rich voice and heartfelt messages. It'll make you see a whole new side to the world."

A Must Buy

"I love this cd. Doria's music is so refreshing in a time where music is so comercialized and is based on artists' (if you can even call them that) looks as opposed to the actual musical content. I love the fact that she writes her own music, this to me shows how truly talented she is. My favorites on this cd are Dying Mans Wish, Thinking of You, Perfect, and Restoration. I listen to this cd every day."

Doria! Yes!

"I first heard of Doria's music on a web bulletin board and just today got the cd. I love it! I was a little worried, since I am a LOT older than probably her usual fans, but that was just not there. I like what she has to say, I like how she says it, and I love the arrangements. Go Doria!"

"I saw Doria Roberts perform live last night and I left shocked that I'd never heard of her - she's worthy of being compared to some of the great contemporary folk singers and I believe she'll soon be heard of by everyone. I bought the cd "Restoration" and listened to it on the way home. It was so good that I didn't want to get out of the car! The music is fresh, the lyrics are wise and witty, her voice is amazing. It's the kind of music you want to sing along to - but then again you don't because you want to hear her voice. It's one of those cd's that I know will not be shelved and forgotten. I'll listen to it over and over and over again. And I look forward to future cd's by Doria and will not miss her live performances. She's worthy of huge venues and I feel very lucky to have seen her in an intimate setting - I don't think she'll be playing those for long."

Take a chance, you won't regret it...

"There are so many independent artists out there now to choose from and I try to support as many as I possibly can. Every once in awhile I come across someone who just shouldn't be independent. Doria is one of those people. I can definitely see her giving Sarah McLachlan, Macy Gray and the ton of nauseating boy bands out there a run for their money. She's an incredibly gifted songwriter and an amazing vocalist. I admit that it took a few listens to get past the first song on the disc "Perfect" because it was so unbelievably good. It should be on EVERY radio station, everywhere. The other tracks really remind me of early Suzanne Vega-type storytelling but Doria knows how to rock, jam, groove or whatever you want to call it. She makes me want to MOVE as well as listen. Very versatile, timeless stuff here. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Worth the investment and you can say "I remember when no one knew her!""
