Crayons is a marvel of poetic beauty. Her songs divulge experiences and emotions with a freshness and uniqueness that's captivating. Elders bids fair to become one of the leading lights in American acoustic music.
Elders is in the same school as many of the emerging folksingers of today.
She should be at the head of the class. Four stars aren't enough. Feeling the rapture of Peaceful Existence is tantamount to discovering the Holy Grail. . . .

This stunning artistic achievement is destined to be among the Top 5 Albums of The Decade.
