Lauren Wood Favorite Things
- Quote From A Fan Of Hers – “Fallen stopped me in my tracks…but as I worked my way through her CD’s, I found it wasn’t about that one song as much as the artist. Her ability to crystallize a thought or emotion with notes and words, wrapped in a voice that can soar, turn to whiskey, then a whisper, is beyond simple musicianship. Lauren Wood’s work will change the way you listen to music.”
