A superb CD which had its launch last night (with a fair number of London's thesession.org members in attendance). Helen's voice is a rare instrument, full of emotional power. I'm really pleased to see Helen shift gear ... it takes real guts to do what she's done, and done so very well! All the very best for the album, Helen! More at http://www.helenroche.net

I've heard only the two sound clips available on Helen's site, but that's enough--I'm recommending this one to all my friends. What a great voice and a way with the songs!
