Listeners should be eager to hear the rest of 5 Acres." --Woman Rock December 2004"Her lyrics are both honest and courageous. She has a black velvet style that reminds me of Alana Myles."The first track,"Answers", is definitely my favorite song on the cd. It's upbeat tempo is lively while Deborah sings with conviction and faith. This is a song that probably everyone can relate to at one time or another." -- Monica Yonge, Yonge Music"The musical style is totally different, but think Johnette Napolitano or even Annie Lennox. Her voice is full of character and country-tinged charm." -www.Southofmainstream.comPress Kit: http://www.sonicbids.com/DeborahCrooksMyspace: www.myspace.com/deborahcrooks
