“These exquisitely chosen ballads create a spiritual journey through the human soul, with affecting images of darkness and light, strength and weakness, evil and plenty of humor.â€
– The Boston Phoenix
“One of the best singers around, to my ear… Lets the song create her style.â€
– Gordon Bok
“I love these versions of my songs — there is so much mood to this whole record. It all adds up for me and I am just knocked down by the whole package.”
– Michael Smith (composer of “Dead Egyptian Blues” and “Crazy Mary”)
“Sarah is a singer to be reckoned with. In a folk scene dominated by songwriters it’s refreshing to hear somebody doing great songs they haven’t written — and doing them so well. Her a capella gospel stuff is a knock-out.”
– Orrin Star
“Most of the well-known songs take on new colors and nuances in her performance… Bob Franke owes Stockwell a great debt for her haunting interpretation of his “I But a Little Girl.â€
– Sing Out Magazine
“A penetrating touch….finesses some wonderful songs.â€
– New England Folk Almanac
“If you are looking for the one CD that you won’t get tired of, Sarah Stockwell’s ‘Dark of Moon’ is the one… enchanting and very entertaining.â€
– Mezlim Magazine
“Stockwell is a riveting, mesmerizing performer who deeply feels the music she plays… My one qualm before listening to Dark of Moon was whether Stockwell could capture such feeling on tape. I am happy to report that she has. â€
– FireHeart Magazine
“… Powerful, often stunning… her voice is a gift.â€
– Boston Rock Magazine
“Sarah’s ability to weave diverse materials with style, resonance, class and just a playful hint of the bizarre, carries you with the joy of a bedtime story and the impact of ancient myths. She will move you, but you will also smile.â€
