"She
writes great songs, plays with top flight musicians, sports a killer
voice... There is not a bad song on the CD. With this much talent and
drive, I imagine Corinne West will be an important artist on the music
scene for some time." Dubbed the 'Princess of
progressive folk', West's music lives smack-dab at that intersection of

has been described as a cross between Alison Krauss and Natalie Merchant.
She can grab attention by almost whispering a hushed introduction to a
ballad, but she's also perfectly capable of raising the
roof. At age 15, Corinne grabbed her
guitar and left home to live in a converted old yellow school-bus occupied

“I
love Corinne’s music and truly believe in her as an artist. She has
spirit, integrity and talent. I am a massive fan.”
