Review Quotes:
"An auspicious debut!" TOM PAXTON
"Sure Feels Like Home is a folk gem! Parks' songwriting and execution are so fully formed that she could easily hold her own with any of Triple A radio's most beloved singer songwriters." THE CLEVELAND FREE TIMES
"Sure Feels Like Home has its charms... Our favorites were Banks of the Kennebec, I'm Going Solar, and I'm Blue." COLUMBUS DISPATCH
"An accomplished production, it surprises with moments of fine playing, touching harmonies, and passionate songwriting." THE GUARDIAN
"This weLl-produced debut collection of original songs has full and tasteful arrangements, well written lyrics. Material ranges from historical ballads to socially conscious anthems. Parks' vocals are vibrato rich, reminiscent of Mary McCaslin and Melanie, alternately childlike and gutsy. Standout cuts include her tribute to Black Elk, "Heal the Hoop," and the folkrock anthem "Long Way Back to Eden," both with powerful vocals, intriguing lyrics; the bittersweet "There Goes Another Rose," and "Banks of the Kennebec," a tribute to her family's origins in Maine. Well worth a listen!" VICTORY ACOUSTIC MUSIC REVIEW
