Press Reviews "...(Jackson's) intimate voice, engaging lyrics, and sweet acoustic guitar progressionscombine to form a pop-flavoured sound that is very pleasant, elegant, and listenable.Motor Scooter is a fine first recording." Gene Wilburn, Northern Journey OnlineSays Listen.com "Jackson's introspective, refreshingly cheerful Folk Pop recalls the glory days of James Taylor and Carole King. The sweet-voiced Canadian sings about the pleasures and pains of ordinary life in a quotidian way that draws favorable comparisons to a less countrified Nanci Griffith."
