"This is a cross between political edge and new age. A bold and wonderful blend of original and absorbing music. It combines political savy (Cities) with haunting melodies (Lullaby for a Deep Sleep and Dolphin Dream). Lewis captured my attention and I play the CD again and again, as others do who have listened. This Canadian singer is headed for stardom."

"Boring. New age pap. I've heard of vanity press. Is there a vanity recording industry?"
Hara's Quest is a sensuous & inspiring listening experience!

"Hara's Quest is a story of a woman's journey for freedom, self-discovery and empowerment. Following the lyrics brought the wonderful instrumental and vocals altogether. Barbara exhibits a well trained voice and brings passion into her music. I liked it very much!"

"I'm normally suspicious of women who claim to have experiences with dolphins and other sorts of animals and need to go somewhere outside of north america to reclaim some feminine power, that is, unless, they go on some vision quest with some Indians. Barabara has a nice ability though to put me to sleep. I don't however think she has to go to indonesia to claim lost power. I think it could just as easily be done by cleaning the bathroom. I'll explain. I find it very empowering to do hard manual labor (including the above mentioned laterine duty) while listening to traditional Irish music. It reminds me of the pictures of signs my mother showed me as a child that were put in front of businesses that said, "NO IRISH OR DOGS ALLOWED" I'm empowered to know that mine do not have the scrub the floors of the rich anymore. I am, therefore, dully empowered, without the expense of an airline ticket."
