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.

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