“Rich and dark, her voice seems to come from a place most singers can only dream of accessing. Then there are the songs. Filled with raw passion and accompanied by eloquent piano playing” ~ Clodagh O’Connell, The Vancouver Courier (Canada)
“Allison Crowe’s blend of blues, rock, gospel, pop and jazz makes her a nightmare for music-store clerks paid to sort CDs. But her debut, Secrets, earned the singer-songwriter from Nanaimo, B.C., much acclaim.” ~ John Intini, Macleans (Canada)

“J’ai rarement été bouleversée à ce point par une voix féminine. Pure comme de la glace, puissante et même violente… qu’il est impossible de ne pas mettre son coeur en jeu en l’écoutant… faîtes place à une virtuose nom de Zeus!” ~ SplinterMuse (France)
“I have never been so moved by a woman’s voice. Pure as ice, powerful and even violent… it’s impossible not to put your heart at stake when listening to her… behold this new virtuoso. By Zeus!” ~ SplinterMuse (France) English translation
“Allison Crowe is a stunningly talented performer. Her voice celebrates the music with a bluesy rock-gospel intensity; her controlled vibrato, silken rasp, and powerful projection rivet your attention. This is no casual background music… be prepared to be amazed.” ~ Carol Swanson, Professor of Law at Hamline University, Music Reviewer (USA)
