Honest Voice.......2005-04-24

Erica Wheeler is far removed from the sticky mainstream American Idol clones we constantly have foisted upon us. She is an original, honest performer who is also an outstanding songwriter. The Harvest is her masterpiece.

From That Far By Far the Best.......2000-03-11

"From That Far", though not yet offered by Amazon, is my favorite collection of Wheeler's songs. The Harvest is growing on me, but the twang in Wheeler's voice is not nearly as intriguing as the soft songster I fell for six or so years ago.

Brilliant - this is what great songwriting is all about ...........1999-08-11

Top marks to Erica Wheeler for eleven superb songs and Laurie Lewis for tasteful uncluttered production. Wheeler manages to cast a spell on you with her clear unnaffected voice and lovely guitar work. The lyrics are superbly visual and real, sad, wistful, personal without being self obsessed or maudlin, often lightened with self deprecating humour. Excellent playing and singing by Lewis, Rozum et al. Wheeler's style defies categorization - it's simply wonderful music you want to play again and again.

More than just folk music.......1998-07-29

Since I happened across this album and bought it on the strength of hearing 'Sprit Lake' (the second track on the album) I've had difficulty listening to anything else as regularly. It's diverse, touching, witty, understated and gloriously produced. Probably undersold as 'folk' in most music stores, this is the sort of album which should be slipped into as many sections as possible in order to raise the chances that people will find it.

A highlight for me has to be 'Sober Harley Guys', about Harley riders high on coffee. Great in every way. The album has a few weaker songs, but I find they're needed to give me time to get my breath back.

Erica Wheeler is refreshingly difficult to compare with any other artist I know, but if you like Lyle Lovett, Tracy Chapman, Slaid Cleaves, folk or country, then you should like this.
