Albums Rebecca Hall Sings!, Sunday Afternoon

Press Reviews "I love the sound of Rebecca Hall's voice. It does something to me. There's a sweetness and a worldly wisdom, in perfect balance. Rebecca is one of the few singers I've heard that is able to create that reaction."--Roger McGuinn, March 2001 ****** "Sweet-voiced Rebecca Hall will drive you to swoon, not just with her singing but also with her music, which includes Appalachia-style ballads and folk tunes."--Time Out New York, May 3, 2001 ****** "Remarkably enough, Hallīs own compositions [on Rebecca Hall Sings!] (7 out of 10) sound as timeless and strong as the traditional folk songs which can be heard at the end of this album. The sound is always clean and pure. Extraordinarily touching is Rebecca Hallīs total integrity. Itīs certainly hard to imagine a more honest statement. Productions like these are very rare these days."--Gert-Ove Fridlund, Hallandsposten (Gothenburg, Sweden), May 4, 2001 ****** [H]ow refreshing it is to find an artist who still believes in the power and beauty of a well-written song, and who puts total focus into making that song as effective as possible. Rebecca Hall is that kind of an artist . . . Rebecca Hall Sings! is a perfect Sunday morning album. The music is quite tranquil, and casually and unobtrusively invites the listener to sit back and give the music and lyrics complete attention."--Michael Lynch, fufkin.com, February 2001 ****** "Describing her singing is difficult; usually I end up using nature comparisons which might lead you to think she sounds like a lemur or a waterfall (which is only metaphorically true). Her beautiful voice and emotional, evocative songs should sway those of you who cozy to such folks as Nick Drake, Bridget St John, Sandy Denny, Shirley Collins, & The Carter Family."--Andy Waltzer, WFMU Radio ****** "Very intimate and irony-free and sweet."--Bob Brainen, WFMU Radio ****** "If there were such a thing as a Gospel Top Ten, "On the Other Side" would definitely be on it. I think it's a hit."--Jay Mark, Recording Engineer and Producer ****** "The melodies are haunting . . . [a]nd Hall's voice, with Birkin's expressive phrasing on the fiddle, is superb."--Gwion James, Traditional Music Maker, July 2000.
