Critical acclaim for her new album- My Echo

?The author of some of the most insightful songs in the modern country-folk canon. ?Another Space and Time?, which uses stings and a bossa nova beat in its pondering of other realities, and ?End Times?, with its lilting, Sunday-school piano, are just two opportunities to swoon.? Uncut ? 9/10

?It?s gorgeous? The 10 songs drift between intimacy and rich instrumentation. Among the many highlights are the lovely I Sing To The Tall Man and Freedom Feeling, where Veirs? intimate voice and guitar morph into something so lush and bright it feels like somebody switched the sky on.? MOJO ? 4 stars ****

?Poignant, cathartic, consistently brilliant? Veirs is one of the greatest American songwriters.? The New Stateman
