About the music:
“A distinct and benevolent vibe emanates from all these tracks courtesy of the multi-talented Mary Sylvester. Her richly textured compositions not only effuse soul but also have a message to boot ensuring that, like the greatest of songs, they work on many different levels”. (DickB, London)
