Reviews"...Sad that illness had to knock Victoria's talent out of obscurity, but this is a great eclectic introduction to her work..." - Rating: A, 3 Stars - Good - "...Evan Dando and Eddie Vedder's textured, wistful voices do justice to these texture, wistful songs...while Michael Penn's 'Weeds' is an oddball potential hit if ever there was one...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...the songs are highly individal and, in most cases, offer radical reinterpretations of Williams's originals. What unites them without exception, however, is the inspired nature of the performances...a moving tribute to a songwriter who deserves to be more widely recognized...", "...A Uniquely Delightful Hour...."
