From the Wizard of Oz to melting ice caps, singer/songwriter Kirsti Gholson (under the name little green blackbird*) weaves stories of love and loss from curious and enchanting points of view. "...The production and arrangements here are inventive and impeccable, and Gholson’s sweet voice is gorgeous, emotional and flexible. Even better are her well-crafted songs about life and love that dig far deeper then most..."
- David Malachowski, The Daily Freeman
