"It is both fitting and surprising that Blue Waltz would begin so simply, with a young soman's sad farewell to her sweetheart, then close with the whimsical desire to be with one's lover "floating down a river on a tube." Rooted in the enduring folklore of Irish and Appalachian music, these tales become bokkends ofr a feat of simple stories: stories of people, places, and the deep yearning of a true life . . . . " -- Steven Purcell, Schloss Mittersill, Austria
"Julee Glaub has the rare ability to find the heart of a lyric, then nestle it in the heart of her listener. Her musical taste is matched only by her magical voice." -- Joe Newberry, Festival for the Eno, Durham, North Carolina
"You wouldn't guess it when you hear Julee Glaub sing, that her roots were in North Carolina. Instead of old-timey mountain ballads, she sings with the heart and lilt of Ireland. Though she's an American, she has an Irish soul, and an expressive, lovely voice that allows her to tap that soul and fill her songs with the same kind of emotion that helped create the songs in the first place. When she sings 'The Parting Glass', you're sorry the evening is over." -- Ed McKeon, Folk Music Director, WWUH, Hartford, Connecticut
