Reviews


    "'Road' has surprising potency! It's easy to see why McGovern is such a highly regarded performer! Her voice remains powerful, supple, and expressive. Maureen McGovern knows how to navigate a song’s emotional peaks and valleys and how to woo and win an audience. When you hear her deliver these songs, it’s a reminder of how much they deserve to live on." — The Boston Globe
    "Maureen McGovern has a voice like no other. I'm in love with that woman's voice! An extraordinary story. She works the music in beautifully to her own biography. I'd never heard these songs like I heard them until they came out of her mouth and were put in the context of her life." — Jared Bowen, WGBH's "Greater Boston"
    "An indomitable talent!" — South End News
