*****************
"Danya River is more than anyone should expect. Her lyrics are honey wine and her vocals are pure gold. Her new album Within/Without should be in anyone's collection."
-Femmusic Magazine
"...slow and sensuously earthy lyrics...smooth creamy voice...this is the CD to have on a Sunday Morning. Her CD feels like a massage for the mind. "
-San Francisco Art Magazine
"One of the most interesting singer-songwriters I've heard lately...intelligent, thoughtful, well-written lyrics, with good use of metaphor and an attentive eye for detail. Her songs remind me of some of the better work of artists like Joni Mitchell and Shawn Colvin...add to this her skillful guitar work, a warm voice that stays with you long after the show is over, a delicious debut CD that you'll keep on repeat for hours, and you have a young artist who has quickly created a buzz in the Bay Area."

Wonderful experience. Through her voice, music and words, you'll swear you can see, feel and hear the songs. No regrets with this purchase.
Lean, gorgeous music
author: BenjaminSometimes spare, sometimes lush, always ... essential, that is in touch with essence, because the words and the tunes are in touch with each other. "Dear Friend" is a special keeper, but there are no losers here.

Something different
author: Steve LyallGreat voice and interesting songs embellished with lovely and sometimes unusual backing guitar. Guaranteed to hold your attention from start to finish. Not your usual singer songwriter fare!
awestruck
author: TerryI saw her live again at Unity in Boulder. Awestruck, pure gold, and tears to the eyes all ring true, but all these leave out the depth of energy her music can incite, (especially live).
Danya is an amazing artist
author: JUSTIN REZZONICODanya's lyrics are intelligent and inspiring. Her melodies are both intense and incredibly sweet. Danya's music lingers in my mindstream long after I have heard it, beckoning me to listen again. I can't wait to see her career unfold.
Infuse your blues!
author: Joe NillyGreat CD! Pure folk. I love it when folkies keep their stuff simple and Danya did it right on this one. Infuse Your Blues is such a great song. If you like Jewel's voice you will love this. Danya, if you read this, keep up the great stuff and please don't progress like everybody else into the full band thing. Your music is great like this.
absolutely enchanting
author: Stephanie EdenListening to Within/Without is like opening the door into an enchanted wood and discovering that beauty of this nature is still real indeed. the music gives your spirit the wings to fly to anywhere. a true masterpiece.
Danya Rocks
author: Vera JI was introduced to Danya through my friend Stephanie Eden, and I was awestruck at her amazing lyrics, outstanding vocals, and rockin' guitar. Music doesn't get any better than this woman! Her cd is almost as good as seeing her live, and all her fans in Boulder are mourning the fact that they may not have the opportunity to do so for a long while!
When I heard this, I was reminded what real music is.
author: Jeffrey Chin, Olduvai MusicI produce music for a living and this is one of the best CDs I've heard this year. I had the pleasure of hearing Danya perform live for a benefit in San Francisco last week and all I can say is, "If you can't see her live, do yourself a favor and get a copy of this CD!". I give this self-titled debut 6 stars (based on a 5-star system).
Danya's cd is awsome.
author: Ben GassHer vocals are just marvelous! The songs really tell stories, and entertaining ones at that. I will never get tired of listening to this CD. YOU GO GIRL
Someone to Watch
author: Alex Teitz, FemmusicWithin/Without is one of the strongest debuts for 2001. River has a deep introspective vision that translates easily to her songs. River emotes love in "Dear Friend", and has fun in "Infuse Your Blues." This is an understated CD from an artist who many will be say, "I remember her when..."
