"In whatever musical context she chooses, Donna has the potential to go as far as she wants. The idea of producing this album intrigued me, because Donna is unique enough as a writer and performer to establish herself as a distinctive voice both within today’s bluegrass scene and beyond it. I truly believe this album is going to amaze everybody, regardless what category or genre they want to fit it into. As we were recording, I remember telling her, 'This album will be your calling card, and will open doors for you that you cannot imagine.' I believed that then, and now, as I listen to her new album, I believe it more than ever. Donna is very personable with her tunes – she writes from the soul. As a performer, she has many avenues to choose from." ~Tony Rice
“As a longtime worshipper of Tony Rice, I knew that his involvement with this CD was a confirmation of the depth, substance, and talent of Donna as an artist and songwriter. She will garner many new fans with this work, and please the ones who already are lucky enough to know her music.”
~Mary Chapin Carpenter
