Press Reviews "Melissa Cox has all the qualities that make good folk music….Her lyrics and vocals really let [Superman] take root. She's got the singer-songwriter sound that is going to draft many fans into her listening legion….Give Superman a listen and try to say you don't feel something different inside you as it finishes. Trust me, that isn't going to happen." -Jonathan Sanders, GodsOfMusic.com "Immediately, Cox demonstrates control of the acoustic guitar in hand. She matches the sound from the guitar with her melodic voice, which has impressive range." -Alexander McGroarty, The Review: U of D newspaper
