She is just adorable live. Her crazy legs are the cutest thing. Her voice occupies me and her words are wise and familiar. Definitely reminded me of Joanna Newsom a bit, but she is her own flavor, too. Hope to see her get the recognition she deserves.

I've been slowly surrendering to Anaïs. She has a sweetness in her voice and a cleverness in her poetry that I've rarely seen before.

I went to school with Anaïs Mitchell in VT. And I had the pleasure of running the sound board for many of her shows. She's a delightful and warm human being and an incredibly talented songwriter. - Kevin Peckham, Ghost Ghost

I saw her yesterday at Ani's concert @ the Forum in London. I really loved 'we build a wall'. It was very 'masters of war' - I didn't think anyone could get away with that kind of simple, straight forward political song anymore, but she does. It was refreshing.

She opened for Ani in Milan - great! She also sang one song in italian - a tune italian anti-nazi partisans used to sing in the Second World War... A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

both equally good albums. The Brightness does grab you quicker, though.

"hymns for the exiled" is so much better than "the brightness" (which is still nice), imho!

Been trying to find The Song They Sang When Rome Fell. Someone here at last.fm has it judging by the scrobbled tracks. Anyone willing to share?

Saw her touring with Ani DiFranco in Ithaca, NY. I was impressed with her performance and music, and I've enjoyed listening to The Brightness, which I purchased that night!
