great listening, inspires the soul
Great listening and livens the soul to create as well as be alive.

Great. A DVD would better demonstrate her awesome energy!!
Cathy’s performance on the CD is wonderful, from seductive to exhilarating. My first exposure to her (and electric violin) was at a live performance. As good as the CD is, I have to say that feeling her energy and seeing the interaction with the band and audience greatly enhances the experience. Don’t miss an opportunity to see her live!
