“Lovingly fresh takes on Garland songs”

"Ellison draws the listener
deeply into the emotions
being portrayed. The singer,
who devised many of the
transcriptions from recordings,
brings a keen blend of vocal
splendor and verbal crispness to
every musical moment. She inhabits
the texts as if living them anew."

“Mark Flanders manages to reincarnate the
Vaudevillian twinkle that once flourished five
times a day at the Palace. Joan Ellison has the
rare ability to evoke, rather than embalm, a
once-in-a-century alchemy...guaranteed to inspire
a tear in every friend of Dorothy.”
