“The disc is not orchestrally fulsome but rather marvelouly crafted under the direction of producer Roma Baran (aided by Vivian Stoll), who treated it like it was a movie, she a director, and Lang an esteemed star worthy of Shakespearian treatment… The result is a mixture of sensitivity, mellifluity, and wistfulness…It’s a brilliant mixture of folk, chamber, and avant-garde…its unique timbre resides in a strange but compelling engineering mix, not to mention the unusually abstract thought lavished…rendering quietly striking tangs and flavors, but it is indeed almost singular as an entry in the folk cannon.” - Mark S. Tucker "It was such an amazing pleasure to have Penny showcase. Really an honour and she not only inspired all the presenters there but inspired and ignited new energy into many of the performers who saw her showcase." - Joanna Maratta "…an incredible record… I totally get her now… the communication… the vulnerability… the arrangements are stunning… a world class package. I really, really, really, really like it!" - Larry LeBlanc "Lang inhabits her songs with humour, grace and ease, expressing with the quiet authority and authenticity of someone who has lived ...light and dark... Her voice is instantly recognizable, soothing, unadorned, naked." - Kathy Fisher "Penny Lang calls her album Stone & Sand & Sea & Sky, but not because she has seemingly been around as long as the elements themselves. No, the title reflects the veteran folk singer's move from Montreal to British Columbia, where she has found solace and natural comfort….Her voice is perfectly imperfect, with a husk and slight slur to it. And even though most of the songs were not written by Lang, she is fit well, the material clothing her as vulnerable and earthy." - Brad Wheeler "Simply beautiful…I had to try to NOT let myself get into it too much! - Shelagh Rogers |
