This
beautiful debut duo recording was released in 2003, a result of a lifetime (over 20
years!) of making music! Produced by Pete
Sutherland, this CD
features five originals, four traditional songs/tunes, and four covers
from other great folk songwriters. Joined by many of the east
coast's finest musicians, Leela and Ellie find a soaring sound that is
full of the heart and energy they have always been known for!

FULL REVIEW.
“Leela
and Ellie Grace rush in as a breath of fresh air to folk music,
creating a musically infectious CD full of great songs, thrilling
harmonies and convincing performance.” – Rich Warren, host of The
Midnight Special
"I
expected it would be good, but it really exceeded any expectation I
might have had. The arrangements are perfect, the production elegant,
and the harmonies so rich they moved me deeply." -- Steve
Jerrett, Host of "The Sunday Morning Coffeehouse" on KOPN,
Columbia, MO
"I am
really speechless. And breathless for that matter. I have
listened to your CD at least 10 times since yesterday and it honestly
brings tears to my eyes. The professionalism, the mixing, the
studio musicians . . . geez it's just so TIGHT! The photography
is beautiful, the design of the CD (I especially like the photo on the
CD itself). But mostly, I love it because IT TOUCHES MY HEART
and I want to thank you for that. I still cry every time I hear
In My Name. I can really hear the passion in your voices and
that is so cool. . . .Thank you for making this record, for putting
words to the feelings we all share, and for writing/singing/ and
performing songs that enrich the lives of all who hear them."
-- Leigh Anne Lockhart, host of "World Woman" on KOPN, owner
