Choice Quotes:

 

Emmylou Harris:

"I've always thought Claire Lynch has the voice of an angel. I'm a fan!" 


Mary Chapin Carpenter: 

"I first heard Claire sing when she was with the Front Porch String Band...I fell in love with her as an artist there and then and now almost 30 years later she continues to make gorgeous albums.  Her original songs display her gifts as a songwriter of uncommon skill, and her outside song choices reinforce her artistic self; one who feels deeply about home, family, strength, resilience and courage. Claire surrounds herself with stellar musicians on this recording (no surprise there) and her singing is bell-like in its beauty. I still remember meeting Claire one year at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival;  I could hardly speak, I was so excited to finally meet one of my very favorite singers in all of acoustic, country and bluegrass music.  She is a jewel. "
 

Sara Watkins:

"Claire's singing and intrepretation of traditional, contemporary, and original songs is a joy to hear. With her voice, clean and clear as mountain water, she sends me to a beautiful place, every time I sit and listen."
