"I love Mare Winningham as an actress, but I didn't know she sang until someone told me about this CD. She found her spiritual heart in her 40's with her conversion. This compilation sounds like a love song to the people of her heart. Her voice is soulful and sweet, and the melodies flow from someone you have no doubt is genuine in their words. I listen to this over and over in my car. The last song, Hatikva, is the Israel national anthem, and is one of the most beautiful tunes I've ever heard. I love this CD. Love it."
I love this album!

"There is something truly "sublime" about Mare's voice. It transcends musical genres, and she has blended her love of bluegrass/country with meaningful lyrics and created a truly unique piece of music. Seeing her live with an adoring crowd heightened the experience!"
Genius

"I remember the 1st time I ever saw this actress named Mare Winningham - the movie was "Off the Minnesota Strip" and I was enthralled with her performance. I still remember it 28 years later.
Her singing voice struck me much the same way. She reminds me of Laura Brannigan. Once you start listening, you don't want to turn it off.
I am a huge admirer of this talented, classy woman and would highly recommend anything with her name on it.
By the way - anyone know how to get a copy of "Off the Minnesota Strip"? I would love to see it again."
Beautiful, heartfelt music

"Mare has done a rare and courageous thing here, sharing her deepest feelings of spirituality and stepping away from what her audience thought they knew about her music. The songs are beautiful,the singing heartfelt. She expresses her beliefs in her own special way. I love this CD and hope to see more like it."
