    While it can be unbearably sad, Lonely Runs Both Ways is ultimately a beautiful meditation on heartbreak. [26 Nov 2004, p.117]

    Definitely the best release from Alison. It is an excellent CD with 4 or 5 songs that can be nominated for awards

Beautiful, ironic, and almost perfect down to the last note.… Expand
