REVIEWS OF JOANNE JUSKUS' NEW DEBUT CD:
"File under heavenly voices. These are haunting songs full of mystery and meaning - songs with brilliant melancholic melodies - songs that demand repeat listens.
- Albert Garzon, Com•4 Distribution, former producer of 10,000 Maniacs and Natalie Merchant
"Joanne Juskus's vocal range and lyrical integrity caught my interest within ten seconds of listening to the first song. She explores new ground while paving the way with enough consistency that the listener never loses touch with the music. This music makes listening an active, rather than a passive, experience."
- Melissa Federoff, Earburn Radio, Bloomington, Indiana
"Hauntingly beautiful." - MP3.com
"A notable singer/songwriter with an extremely bright future. Soaring and sensual vocals and extremely well-produced progressive arrangements."
- Russ Elliott, Musical Discoveries
"...Joanne's vocals are indescribably good. I've tried, but I just can't capture her elusive voice in words."
- Matt Fisher, Acoustic World
"What a refreshing release! Every once in a while, music, relishing in originality and spirit is sent our way. Joanne's debut album is just that. Her songwriting grabbed me instantly, and from the opening tune to the last, I felt myself on a rollercoaster ride to a land I am constantly searching for. You will find a piece of that paradise in Joanne Juskus."
