Marianne's Best to date
Posted on Aug 23, 2007 by

Rating: 5 out of 5
Marianne's latest CD Inspiration is outstanding. Compared to her previous recordings, her vocals on this CD have a fuller, richer tone and the melodies are exquisite. Joe Clapp provides excellent accompanyment. The recording and mastering is well done. This is a must-have, folk CD.
