We have long admired Joan Baez for her integrity, regal beauty
and that golden soprano of startling power. With her latest album,
produced by country rock luminary Steve Earle, she continues her
original role as singer-songwriter and interpreter, performing the
songs of Bob Dylan, Natalie Merchant, Elvis Costello, Steve Earle
and Tom Waits.

Roxanne Potvin combines an easy-going confidence and style with
fire and a wonderful innocence that engages her audience wherever
and whenever she plays. With influences rooted in blues and branching

has attracted the attention of artists such as John Hiatt and Colin
Linden - both collaborators on her last record "The Way It Feels".

are simply thrilling. She seems to possess an almost magical ability
to capture her audiences with a voice that is both luminous and
vulnerable. This is the sound of operatic royalty.
