“We’ve been following Shauna Burns for some time now. Thus far she has never failed to deliver quality heartfelt music to her fans. And once again, she hits the target dead center. Violet is yet another solid, smooth, slick collection of Celtic-inspired pop songs. There are lots of folks recording this type of music in the twenty-first century…but few who can compete with such compelling and believable honesty. This is a slick album recorded with all the intricacies that modern technology allows. But at the core these songs have heart and they are delivered with credible sincerity. Of course songs are what make an album…and that’s where Violet really blooms (pun intended). Shauna’s main accompanists here are her husband James Clark (drums, percussion), Ryan Whyte Maloney (guitar), Lindsey Springer (cello), and Caroline Kemper (harp). Housed in a glossy tri-fold cardboard sleeve complete with printed lyrics, this is yet another resounding success from this enchanting artist. Top pick.”

Big thank you to Baby Sue for the lovely review of Violet! 🙂
