Marti
Rogers 
What People Have
Said about the Recordings
The CD is produced and mixed quite well....reminds me
quite a bit of Mother Maybelle and the Carter Family.
Marti is an accomplished musician ... a recording star of
considerable merit.... "Plain And Fancy" displays her melodic singing
voice, and her song writing ability.

Lovely selection of songs! It’s been a long time since
I heard Barbara Allen; certainly sung so beautifully! ... In Piney Hill I can
see the view from the hill....

I really loved Lucid, and was playing my version
of it for some folks in Boston last week who loved it.

Roth, artist, dulcimer virtuoso, singer/songwriter
Rogers gives new
life to old standards like "Barbara Allen," "Shady Grove,"
....
-- Mary DesRosiers "Sing Out! The Folk Song Magazine"
Plain
& Fancy's pleasures will find their way to you....Rogers ... has gathered
up some standards ... such as "Barbara Allen," "Shady
Grove," "Johnny, I Hardly Knew You," "Fair & Tender
Maidens" and the like, then scattered them amid a few of her own
compositions (notably the striking "Lucid, the Rambler").... Her
approach is the mostly unadorned one that you may remember from records on
Sandy and Caroline Paton's Folk-Legacy label: spare, entirely acoustic,
sweet-voiced, deeply experiment-averse.... You don't hear that sort of thing
much these days.... The resulting sound
is living-room ambient, coming at one -- one has the impression -- from never
more than five or 10 paces away. Homey and intimate, in other words,
comfortable as an old, faded flannel shirt, a much-occupied couch or a beloved
book you return to every few years."
Dear Tom, I’ve been
enjoying the Marti Rogers CD. I note your participation on the recording: also
the printed matter is very well written.

We have enjoyed your wonderful recording very
much. When we play it yet again we stop
everything and just listen and enjoy! Marti’s
sweet voice and distinct enunciation makes it so special. We enjoy also the
autoharp, the lap dulcimer and the guitar.
I find myself humming the
music the next day.

in practice at the age of 90!)
Just
finishing up my first full listen. Spare, clean, clear, pure and very personal spiritual
quality. The listener feels like the songs are being played expressly for and
to them.
Peaceful.
Soothing. Calming. If you pay attention you get pulled in. Like reading or
listening to a radio show.

The other time and other place that calls us all back.
Great Job

I've been
enjoying your CD this week, and my wife Debbie has enjoyed it as well. My
favorite is Gold Doubloon, which I remembered hearing you do up in
Princeton...a great song.

Hi
Marti
We really enjoyed your concert Sunday. You have a
terrific voice that is very haunting. I listened to your CD on the way in and
although I did not get through the whole thing yet, I did skip to your original
songs, which I thought were quite good, especially ... "Piney Hill,"
which is
lovely. Plus, I think your rendition of "Pretty Saro" is the best I
have heard ( I played that one several times).
Tom was terrific on the bass and he is such a hoot with his sense of
humor!
Thanks
Sara
