 Dirty Linen, April-May 1998 Two recordings from Canadian song-writer Susan Crowe, whose quiet sense of understatement holds both for her lyrics and vocal style. Her voice is almost a whisper at times, her lyrics sparse but telling, conveying a deep sense of emotion, very subtly but very powerfully. The Door to the River has sparser production, with This Far From Home being a bit brighter in mood, but both are rewarding works, both strangely compelling in ways that will touch you. 
The Vancouver Sun, January 12, 1995
Sometimes, we neglect to see (or hear) what’s right under our noses. Case in point: B.C. resident Susan Crowe who released her first full-length CD, This Far From Home, last fall. Cut from the cloth of great singer-songwriters, Crowe’s songs and vocal quality easily bear comparison to a Mary Chapin Carpenter or Shawn Colvin. Faithless, the strongest song - or at least the one with the widest appeal - has a chorus that will sit happily in your head for a long time if you care to let it linger. The songs all stand easily on their own. But the real gravy on this release is the fairy tale instrumental weaves that create magic on this low-production budget CD. The guitars of Andreas Schuld, pedal of steel of John Lacey, the masterful mandolin of maestro John Reischman and the violin of buddy Lowry Olafson, just to name a few, make this catch a keeper.
