Review 1: "Armed with the timbre and phrasing that comes from years of experimentation, ...a true artist hitting her timeless stride." Source of review 1: James Walsh, St. Paul Pioneer Press, 05/10/02 Review 2: "She's got the Veronica Lake Look and a smoky delivery that will make you homesick for the Twentieth Century." Source of review 2: Ronald Mangravite, MIAMI TIMES, 04/24/02 Review 3: "Prudence wraps her silky alto around some of the best material of the twentieth Century. Carmichael would certainly approve."
