Angela Harris

Tom Harrison, The Province
4/5 Stars " Homegrown singer/songwriter Harris should rightfully be in the same league as Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin and Lucinda Williams. Her idea of country music is great writing combined with timeless production and instrumentation. Overall she sounds like Linda Ronstadt fronting The Band…exceptional...."
