Reviews
The album is the work of a quality songwriter, who clearly excells at what she does, which is to write smart, life-affirming, and beautiful music like this one. Motherland is more on acoustic one, the beautiful acoustic guitar has accompany the beautiful voice of Natalie. --Autolady006 19:40, 21 April 2007 (PDT)
