Reviews:

“I was tapping my foot before the end of the first bar and literally started bobbing my head and felt a strong compulsion to find a partner and hit the dance floor with my best two-step. This artist grew up "in a small island community steeped in folk and bluegrass" and her music strongly smacks of both. Very talented voice and she's got full control of it…I'd say her voice compares to Carly [Simon], her writing to Joni [Mitchell] and her composing to Sheryl [Crow]…If she ever plays in my neck of the woods, I'll buy a front-row ticket.” – Bill Carrera, EvO:R Entertainment

“There’s a pretty watercolor on the cover that is perfect for this pleasant contemporary folk singer-songwriter’s work. You know exactly what’s inside – some bright colors, great harmonies and solid production…it’s crisp and clean, with great arrangements that give Christie’s songs plenty of space. She sings all the vocals, the harmonies soaring above a bed of acoustic guitar, percussion, bass and just a touch of keyboards…Opening the disc is “Drive”, the kind of tune you want to pop into the car stereo while on a sunny drive, the wind playfully streaming in the windows, her strummed acoustic guitar joyfully carrying the lyrics. Her guitar, tuned to DADGAD, has an open feel on “Alone.” I love the gritty slide guitar in “Remember” and the bluesy lead acoustic guitar in “Far Away.” Both were played by Karl Haug, who also lends well-played parts to other songs like “Midnight Dream.” There’s a dissonant rhythmic guitar that makes that one melodically different than most of the other cuts…watch for her next release.” – Jamie Anderson, Indie-Music.com

“Buckle up and push the play button! As you travel the road to Sunnyside, this CD will take you places ranging from the wide blue yonder to deep inside your mind; you could go back to the past or speculate on the future; you might explore thrilling new places or find the warmth of the familiar. The musical vehicle is made of a wonderful mixture of acoustic, pop, jazz and country. The packaging is beautiful and you can actually read the lyrics! You will find your hand reaching for this CD often.” - Paul the Music Lover, Indie Music Sampler

“Expressive and beautiful! This is a CD that shows depth and range! Christie's songs are lyrically poetic and descriptive and are coupled with unusual chord progressions that weave a lovely colorful tapestry of sound. These songs will keep growing on you!”
