    Standouts such as "Rocks Of Time" and "Next One, Maybe" have all the depth, richness and candour that Veirs' admirers have come to expect. [Dec 2023, p.36]

    With Phone Orphans, Veirs exposes her creative process and, in doing so, maps out the rich topography of her psyche.

    She doesn’t know the meaning of life any more than the rest of us. She has given the question serious thought and created art from the possibilities by singing, playing, and recording over the telephone late at night. That offers its own charming reasons for existence.

    This is probably one for Veirs purists, but such is the standard of her songwriting that even among these sketches, there’s some real gems to be found.
