"Not only is this album wonderful. Ginger is such a warm, approachable and natural person. I mean anyone as popular as she is that answers her own email and takes time to talk to everyone at her shows has got to be cool. Hopefully when she is a big start she will keep those humble qualities. I would say this album is my favorite right now. Every song is great ad I have always loved her lyrics. She always says the things I can't figure out how to say. She backs it up live as well. Her band is fabuous and that girl can sing."

Talented singer/songwriter

"This CD was in a box of CDs I bought on a whim. I listened to it with no expectations as I was unfamiliar with Ginger Mackenzie, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the disc. What initially made me want to listen to it was to hear her cover of Joni Mitchell's classic "Help Me." Ginger does a credible re-working of Joni's hit song, and it fits in nicely with the rest of the program. Two songs, in particular, struck me with their poignant and powerful lyrics. First was "Shoes", which closes with: "I'm not so innocent, I'm not so brave. Sometimes, to my demons I'm a slave. Most of the time I feel I'm walking on a wire. One false move and I fall into the fire." The second song I thought was particularly impressive was "I'm Over It." The lyrics pack a universal punch I think we all need to remember: "I thought I would never get over it. What do you know, I'm over it. 'Cause life goes on, on and on..." The musical accompaniment balances gracefully with the vocals and makes for a very enjoyable listening experience."
