"From the very first track, it is clear that Jo Ann Smith is talented. Her autoharp playing is fast, intricate and gorgeous. She brings a breadth of emotion to her songs and plays them with enough complexity to rival a full band of fiddlers."

No words needed - transporting
If you have stumbled upon this page thinking you'd never buy an "autoharp" album, think again. Beautifully arranged and impeccably played, this comes across as acoustic-folk chamber music, tastefully arranged instruments weaving in and out but always supporting the bell-like tones of the autoharp. No scratchy, rough edges here. Works as soothing background music or to concentrate on as virtuoso performance. The autoharp is a distant descendant of the lyre of Orpheus, so no words are needed to render these sounds "lyrical".
