I just wanted to let you know how very much I love your new CD. I always cry when I listen to it, and right now that's a good thing. Your music touches me in a way I'm not used to and not entirely comfortable with, yet. Thank you.

Traditional folkies will love "The Leaves Entwine". Jennifer melds ballads and fiddle music into a satisfying mix and does it with consummate artistry - a clear result of her years of performing. But there's more. It's this "more" that will engage listeners...and it's this "more" that has kept "The Leaves Entwine" in my must play pile.
--Valerie Mindel, Hong Kong 1993
