Reviews of âDark of Moonâ --

âThese exquisitely chosen ballads create a spiritual journey through the human soul, with affecting images of darkness and light, strength and weakness, evil and plenty of humor.â â The Boston Phoenix

âOne of the best singers around, to my ear⦠Lets the song create her style.â â Gordon Bok

"I love these versions of my songs -- there is so much mood to this whole record. It all adds up for me and I am just knocked down by the whole package." -- Michael Smith (composer of "Dead Egyptian Blues" and "Crazy Mary")

"Sarah is a singer to be reckoned with. In a folk scene dominated by songwriters it's refreshing to hear somebody doing great songs they haven't written -- and doing them so well. Her a capella gospel stuff is a knock-out." -- Orrin Star
