"I first heard Mindy Jostyn about 6 months ago and I can't decide whether I enjoy her live performances or albums more. "Cedar Lane" is very representative of Mindy's work, poignant, funny, totally engaging. This is one album where you absolutely have to read the lyrics, as mindy pokes fun at "Other guy's girls", and growing up as a street kid in the 'burbs on "Cedar Lane". I thoroughly enjoyed it."

"Mindy Jostyn is one of those well-kept secrets of the music industry. She's been heard playing with Carly Simon, The Hooters, Billy Joel, John Mellencamp, Joe Jackson and dozens of others. You make have even seen her jamming with the band on TV's "Emeril Live". She has spent most of her musical career making others sound great. On this and her other solo albums, Mindy Steps out from the shadows to show us what she's got.First, Mindy is a very accomplished singer-songwriter. She's had the opportunity to work with some of the best and she shows us that she can hold her own with the best. As an instrumentalist, Mindy plays guitar, violin, accordion, mandolin and of course, harmonica. On the harmonica she proves that she's as good as any guy out there. The songs are all top-notch and the arranging is exquisite.I definitely urge you to take the time to give her a listen."
