"...this weathered country singer and storyteller unfurls one lovely narrative after another, chronicling a merciless world in which it's always a little bit too late to change your mind."    - New York TimesMercy Now, a work of breathtaking, addictive beauty, compelling in its simplicity - the best record I have heard this year. As support to Willie Nelson on his European tour, she is worth the price of admission on her own. Live, she is mesmerising. Her songs are a strange mix of half-spoken, half-sung talking blues: clever, often laugh-out-loud tales of addicts, victims and losers, of cheap motels and failed love affairs. - The London Times, Sunday March 20, 2005
 
 "her songs are as one with her personal history as those of Billy Joe Shaver or Steve Earle." - Nashville Scene
 
 "Lyrically, she can turn the most mundane details, like heating instructions for a microwave dinner, into poetry. Elsewhere, she paint vivid tableaus." - The Stranger
