Industry Reviews
...this is one of the best, and most strongly traditional, Green Linnet[record label] releases in recent memory.
Dirty Linen (06/01/1999)
...singing in a sweet timbre, with little or no musical accompaniment....listen to the reality...Romance is a subject which has fascinated down the ages, and it does so again on [BLACKBIRDS].
Mojo (07/01/1999)
...Parson's beautifully crafted phrases, sharp vocal control and soulful tone makes even the most melancholic song riveting...
CMJ (05/03/1999)
3 stars (out of 5) - ...allows her folk inclinations full rein to great effect....an album for the feet as well as the heart.
