REVIEWSAbout "From where I Sit" ...."Especially loved
the last five! "Parker's Jetty" is gorgeous! Thanks so much for
the fine music!...."
- Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul & Mary)
"Possibly the high point of the festival was
the closing of the Saturday night concert. Anne Dodson, the
honey-voiced singer from Maine, wrapped up a lovely set with her
breathtaking rendition of "Prayer"...,sung by several hundred
voices,, all in majestic harmony. A perfect moment. And the rain
even waited till she had left the stage...."
- Jeremy Bloom, Metroland, Albany NY 7/93 reviewing the
Old Songs Festival, Altamont NY
".... Anne Dodson (is) fast growing into a
major folk talent....Her clear voice is sweet and sure and her
song-finding, from a Georgia Sea Island ditty to a wrenchingly
homespun love song from naturalist John Albright, is dead-on"
- Scott Alarik, Boston Globe, Boston MA
"....You gave 'em everything but a hot oil
massage!..."
- Livingston Taylor (after Anne's opening act, Lebanon,
NH)
"...when an artist as good as you are at
spinning a song puts out an album it's a matter of honor to get
it on the program....."
- Tor Jonassen, WRVD, PA (re: From Where I Sit")
"...It was just what I needed to lift my
spririts. I came alone...but I didn't feel alone once you began
singing...."
- letter from an audience member
...."Anne Dodson took the U&I; Coffeehouse
audience on a roller coaster ride from thoughtful ballads to
uproarious sing-along-novelty songs - and everyone wanted to get
back in line for more- a double encore performance!"....
- Ed Brown, U&I; Coffeehouse, Springfield MA
"You are truly, truly magical! For precision,
soul and beauty this was the night. The very best!"
- Margie Rosenkranz, Eighth Step, Albany NY 11/3/95
(concert with Matt Szostak & Gordon Bok)
"With Anne, you've got a delightful
combination; she listens, she loves and cares about everything
she sings. That makes her a joy to listen to and a delight to
work with. We're grateful that she's sharing her music with us."
- Gordon Bok, Camden ME
"More than one person actually told us the
concert was the best one they had ever been to, period"....
- Dan Breslaw, concert sponsor, Chelsea VT (concert with
Matt Szostak)
"....Anne....is an uncommonly good singer and
this album [TRANQUILITY GRANGE] is truly a showcase for her
considerable talents"....
- Bill Spence, Andy's Front Hall, Voorheesville NY
"....Below is a list of those artists which we
seem to play a lot, regardless of the age of the
recordings:....Tom Paxton, Greg Brown....Patty Larkin, John
Gorka...Anne Dodson...[etc.!]..."
- WNHU, U. of New Haven, West Haven CT
"One change in old age, I find, is that music
touches me more deeply and tears flow unbidden. "All You Ask"
had that effect on me. The words, the music, your voice - I was
glad of the semi dark. "From Where I Sit" - same result. I am 79
years old ; "age is but a way of marking distance"; and truer
words were never spoken, I thought as I wiped my eyes and
sniffed - pleasurably. I am still feeling euphoric from last
night's concert."
- From an audience member , NH (4/95)
"Her voice can be anything from a lark to a
cougar"....
