Review of Highway Bouquet in March 2009 issue of Chronogram magazine:

"Susan Kane is the real thing. The lower Hudson Valley-based singer-songwriter has just released her second album, Highway Bouquet, and it's chock-full of great songs and great singing, all set off with a shimmering production job from multi-instrumentalist and Suzanne Vega side man Billy Masters (who called in ringers like Lisa Gutkin, Fred Gillen Jr., and Marc Muller to assist). Kane would have been comfortable in the "Mellow Mafia" of late-'70s Los Angeles, but her music has a stronger country edge and occasionally even leans into the alt.folk territory of her peers. Since Kane covers the Eric Kaz/Libby Titus chestnut "Love Has No Pride" on the album, one assumes she won't mind the comparison to Linda Ronstadt. But, truth be told, Karla Bonoff-who wrote many of Ronstadt's most enduring songs-is an even stronger touchstone. And that's not a bad thing, especially when you combine Kane's irresistible voice-you can live in it for days-with hooks as big as those on the lush, anthemic "Ring the Bells," the witty "Big Baby," and the intimate, acoustic "Tenderhearted." Kane also covers "To Lay Me Down," a lesser-known gem from Jerry Garcia's first solo album, which will certainly pull in casual listeners from the Dead side of the tracks. Further proof of Kane's Me Decade leanings is the fact that Highway Bouquet clocks in at a vinyl-friendly 41 minutes. If only other songwriters would take the hint and offer this kind of quality, rather than simple quantity."

Some Industry Observations.....

" If justice were served, "Susan Kane" would be a household name! Her first album is so assured, so full of wonderful songs, so well-produced that in a fair world you'd expect to find her on the cover of Rolling Stone. Susan Kane deserves a much wider audience. She conquers audiences, one coffeehouse at a time." Jim Motavalli, WPKN-FM Bridgeport, CT

"Susan's pure delivery of this beautiful collection of songs leads the listener on a sublime sonic journey." Sloan Wainwright

"...listen closely to the lyrics for maximum enjoyment!" Zoe Montana, RadioIO.com

("Rebekah" is) a remarkable portrait...to set alongside "Eleanor Rigby...." Bob Sherman, Woody's Children WFUV-FM New York

"Susan engages the listener with beautifully crafted verse set to melodies with a familiar yet original musical frame. As a performing artist, she delivers her music with a skilled and familiar voice that resonates from note to note and song to song." Rick Rock, Director Tribes Hill

Susan Kane is a singer songwriter based in northern Westchester, NY.
