CD Reviews
Oh- how I've longed for a CD like Genie's WILDFLOWERS...

"I listen to Genie and close my eyes and remember my Grandmother, and the love my parents shared before they went on.
Why don't the young kids make such beautiful songs anymore?
I am a Genie fan for life."
Wildflowers fills my heart with memories of joy

"On this album Genie steps out a bit from the super-peaceful sound of her other albums, which I think of as night-time albums. It's still really gentle, but Wildflowers fills my DAYS with such beautiful songs, all very thoughtful but pure and simple. Some of these songs have more varied instruments than the Whisper CD. I love all of Genie's stuff- the songs have really changed my life. I've wondered where all of the peaceful songwriters like James Taylor, Dan Fogleberg, and John Denver have gone. Genie fills that void and updates the style while remaining true to its simple heart. I don't want to sound like I'm hyping her, but I'm such a huge fan of Genie and I know you're really going to love this CD."
The new one is the one you want - it's good for everyone

"I have two copies of this CD, the old one and the new one. The new one is much better than the old one, although I love the old one too.The new one seems to have the "free MP3 songs" that I just heard here on this wonderful store. I don't see why anyone would think it was all "Christian", not that there's anything wrong with that. I love God, and this Wildflowers record didn't offend me at all, but it's just love songs and songs for family and stuff like that. Not a church recording. I can recommend it for a gift to anyone who likes quiet peace music and anyone who likes a soft voice like Eva Cassidy singing soft.
One thing I really enjoy about Genie is that she writes her own songs and they are some of the most pretty songs you've ever laid ears to- just take a listen to all those free mp3's Genie is giving away and you'll trust me."
Spellbinding...

"Spellbinding.
That's all I can say about the new MP3 I just heard of Quiet Place.
You have just got to hear it to believe it."
Like softer songs of such artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter
The Media Critic | 08/09/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"My tastes flow toward the softer songs of such artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tori Amos, Beth Neilsen CHapman, and of course Enya. I only recently discovered the artistry of Genie, who appears to me to wrap my favorite elements of the above named artists into a soft, lush, sensous yet innocent package.
I have since purchased Whisper and Angels ALl Around as well, and while I enjoy them very much, I must admit that Wildflowers is by far my favorite, except when I'm specifically trying to sleep, at which time Whisper or Angels are my picks. I could not be more impressed with this CD and I highly suggest it for your use."
