'Woody Sez' is recommended. The enthusiasm the talented performers have for sharing Woody's music (and his legacy) is infectious. If you're a fan of Woody, you are likely to love it. Even if you only remember singing "This Land is Your Land" in elementary school, this is still a show to see if you appreciate fine musicianship.

On 'The Day I Fell in the Water,' songs such as 'Spirit Mountain' and 'Daisies Talk' paint an honest picture of the muses Crabtree finds in the natural world. However it's not just her storytelling that's impressive; Crabtree has a way of incorporating a message into her songs that are both unique and exalting. The song 'Bees' is complemented by the fluttering sounds of a mandolin while Crabtree addresses issues of wildlife conservation that she observes. Then there are songs like 'The Day I Fell In the Water' and "Water Canyon,' which deal with how the natural world has shaped her personal growth, delving more into matters of the heart. Her combination of Folk, Americana, and Country laced with themes of nature is both classic and refreshing-a genuine window into the soul of a talented songwriter.
