She'll pull at your heart-strings ..........2002-11-10

I first heard Stacey Earle at a songwriter's retreat a year ago, and I fell madly in love with her on the spot. Part of the retreat's schedule was a unique songwriting assignment: a song with topic assigned by Lamb, to be written over the course of 2 days and then performed to the group at the end of the retreat. My assignment was to write a love song to Stacey Earle ... I hadn't heard her music before, but, when she got up to perform for us the first time, I realized what an easy assignment I'd been given. She lit up the retreat's meager stage with one of the most expressive & enjoyable performances I'd seen in a long while, filling the room with her voice and presence ... Her songs are personally revelatory-diary entries, she called them. Listening to a Stacey Earle record is like taking a walk through the backyard of her life, in such a way that you forget it isn't your own life you're strolling through. Sad, sweet, and spirited ... Her melodies and hooks are as catchy as you'd want 'em, and Earle is as adept a performer as you'd hope to find. This album is a real gem: don't miss out!

Perfect.......2001-11-05

How could this CD be better? It couldn't. Feed your soul and be amazed at how simplicity can carry so much emotional weight.

She's awesome.......2001-04-21

The voice, the music, the lyrics, the performance. It's incredible that she is not more well known. There are no false steps in this album. It becomes more beautiful with each playing. Such incredible musicians as well.

wow.......2001-02-05

I read an article about Nashville outsiders. Stacey Earle was listed among others (Steve Earle topped the list, of course). I figured if she were a tenth as good as Steve, she'd be worth listening to. It turned out she was a pretty major talent in her own right. The album is among my family's favorites. I haven't tired of listening to it yet, and I listen to it often. It's sad that someone as good as she is isn't a best selling recording artist, instead of a "special order".

The real deal........2001-01-28

As I write this, I'm listening to "Dancin' with Them That Brung Me," another great CD. I saw Stacey Earle open for her brother, Steve, this evening at The Beacon Theater in New York City. She only played a very brief 20 minute set at the beginning (before returning later), but, with nothing but her acoustic guitar, her sense of humor, and her magnificent voice, she won everyone over very quickly. From where I was sitting, I could see offstage where her brother stood and watched and listened quietly. He looked proud and very happy for her. He, like a hanging moon, she,shining bright. Great stuff.
