Sono felice di vederti!

Can't wait!

Spring seems so far away.

hard to believe it's been 26yrs!!!!!since I first seen this girl perform......from the dive bars of western new york to the to one of the most succesful artists......AWESOME!!!!......come sing for us here in buffalo....natalie....it's been way too long......

Finally!
I'm looking forward to the new release.
And I'm thrilled that she's with NoneSuch now!
Good choice!

Natalie is a "one of a kind" artist. She has shown time and time again that originality, non-commercialized, and non-hyped music is appealing to the public. She inspires others as well to donate their time and efforts to worthy causes and to become politically active. She stears away from illegal drugs, booze, ------- even parents like her! Her soulful songs make me cry at times, make me happy at other times, and inspires me to do more to help others. I am a counselor and I feel blessed to have experienced her work in music as well as gain inspiration from her social activist activities to her community and to others in need of help.

Many of her songs tell "stories" and are rich in detail while others are simple but provoke so much emotion in me and I see also in others when hearing her work. I'd like to add that her flare for trying different types of music is very appealing, which is rare to see in artists that find themselves being "boxed-in" or "streamlined" and "labeled" into one genre of music. I would love to hear her release some gospel songs for example. Or try some more traditional Irish tunes or traditional Italian songs too. But I know whatever Natalie is inspired to sing, it will always be appealing to me.

I am a Christian and I must add it is very appealing to me to hear an artist who is not consumed by addiction and inspires others to do good things for others and themselves . ----- Joe

The waiting is the hardest part!
