Some of the best--live

"Hard to believe there are no other reviews of this CD collection. It includes some of Holly Near (and others') classic women's music, some of it modified, some recorded live. If you've ever had the pleasure of seeing Holly perform (or maybe particularly if you haven't), this CD set is like sitting at a concert with your eyes closed. Really a great set."

"I am so enjoying this musical journey through the years, no one can tell our stories better than Holly Near. It is so great to also recognize the familiar and loved voices of talented women like Meg Christian, Ronnie Gilbert, Cris Williamson, et al. I have it in my computer and in my mp3, and totally recommend it -- Simply Love, the women's music collection! Really great!!"
Timeless inspiration

"Holly Near's collection, "Simply Love" is deeply inspiring. For many women during the 70's and 80's who had sung along to Holly's music during so many political, spiritual, and ecologically challenging times, this music helps us through our present day experiences where we seem to be facing the same challenges. These songs are also deeply romantic to inspire our relationships. Holly Near's music and voice is timeless and her message still clear and direct: singing with you is the best thing that could happen to me, my friend. Thank you Holly Near for this collection of wonderful classics!"
