5 out of 5 stars Some very important healing and inspiring songs.......2003-01-30

I like Libby Roderick a lot. She has a style of singing that makes her so familiar - it always feels as though she's singing frankly and right to me. Maybe that's because the instrumentation is so soft that her voice really stands out, unemcumbered. Or maybe she just has a cheerful tone to her voice, or maybe she just has a really warm soul that comes across on every song. I just know that her voice always sounds like it's right in the room with me.

THINKING LIKE A MOUNTAIN is one of her best albums, I think. This and IF YOU SEE A DREAM. You kind of need both. This one has some absolute keepers for Libby Roderick fans:

GO is an incredible song about letting people go if you really love them: whether it's a lover or a child or even a parent. It's touching.

IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT tears me up every time, as it's just a song basically asking that question: Whatever it is you're doing - is that what you really want? Sometimes I need to hear that one.

And LOW TO THE GROUND is warm, healthy, grounding song about living life simply - every now and then I need to be reminded of this.

THINKING LIKE A MOUNTAIN is definitely an essential to a Libby Roderick collection!

5 out of 5 stars This CD is thoughtfully poetic, while being fun to listen to.......1999-04-15

My daughter gave me this CD for Christmas because WYEP radio in Pittsburgh, PA played a song from it that she knew I would like. This particular track is about living close to the earth, which Libby Roderick obviously does. Also, while my daughter is in graduate school, my husband and I are the loving care-takers of her cat named LIBBY that adopted my daughter when she was living in Libby ,MT. Many of the tracks on this CD reminded me of a much loved friend, so when she moved way a few months ago I gave it to her. Now I HAVE to buy my another - I miss hearing it. I'm so glad that my daughter sought out this CD and introduced me to Libby Roderick, who I feel like I know. Libby Roderick writes words that touch and wraps them in wonderful melodies.

5 out of 5 stars Down to earth song's on relationships........1998-12-26

After listening to this CD I found my self rethinking my place in this world. I have been a fan since 1992. I have yet to find a track that I don't like. Her songs are "Chicken Soup for Soul" in music. When I need a pick-me up I put headphones on, and loose myself in a wonderful world of sound. Try it you will like it.
