The CD is addicting
author: Tony EdwardsI heard Ellen Cherry perform at Iota in Virginia the weekend that Heart Like A Lion was released and was blown away. I purchased their CD that night and have been listening to it almost daily. I liked it so much that I bought 4 others to give to my friends. The songs range from soulful to playful to haunting. Most tracks are far better than what you hear on the radio.
Best cd i've got in a LONG time!
author: Bradley R HuffI've been following her career for a short time now and I can't wait until she comes out with her next album! It seems like she tops herself every time. Can't wait to hear more!
I love her new CD.
author: CarolineEllen has a very soothing voice in all her music. I wish she were better well known.
