"Sheri Kling combines robust vocals with simple, earnest lyricism, switching from introspective acoustic ballads to more freewheelin' honky-tonk throw-downs. ~ Creative Loafing, Atlanta

Sheri Kling is an accomplished singer/songwriter, guitarist and long-time spiritual sojourner whose music is built on rich vocals and dynamic guitar and resonates with a certain organic authenticity through compositions that are heart-rooted and spirit-seeking. Each song is another way of looking at what is real, what is true, and what invites us all into a more passionate and well-lived life.
Reviews: * Indie-Music.com (July 9, 2005)by Catherine L. Tully: "This woman's voice is like the auditory version of chocolate cake -- rich and yummy! If Annie Lennox sang this style of music, this is what it would sound like. The voices are very similar. Sheri Kling sang, and I listened. And listened. The whole CD was enjoyable, and I just couldn't get enough of the beauty of this woman's voice.
That is a good way to describe the sound that Kling's voice has: a woman's voice. There is no girl here, rather a woman singing about life and reflecting on experiences. I like to think about the perfect atmosphere to listen to a CD in. With Kling's album, I imagined a balcony in the summertime, high above the street with a glass of white wine. It has that soulful feel to it -- the kind of music you think to.
Usually I review the tracks one by one, but with this CD it is impossible. Every time I thought I had a favorite, I heard another song that I was wild about. (Although if pressed for ONLY one, I would have to choose track three, "Light the Fire Tonight.")
If you want to choose a fabulous album, this is the one.
