General comments:

While she's not doing anything innovative, Heather Stewart's country flavoured music is effective—can be a lot of fun or heart-wrenching. She has a crisp vocal style and can use it mourn or celebrate. (sophiagurley@hotmail.com)

Comments:

A range of energetic pop/rock songs and country-ish ballads and few old-timey bits, all mostly country flavoured, though "He Loves Her" feels like 1960s pop/rock or perhaps even the 1980s version of same. (sophiagurley@hotmail.com)
