"One of Britain's greatest Singer-Songwriters...

The Independent on Sunday
Simmy Richman. Sunday, 11 January 2009
"Fairytales, folk stories, enchanted forests and fiery lakes - so far so promising, as Angie Palmer's latest perfectly crafted offering gets a Proper release in the January lull.
'Meanwhile' is further proof that what "the British Lucinda Williams" lacks in Americana credentials (she's from Preston), she makes up for with a dues-paying busking-in-Paris past. "The mind has monster great and small/Just waiting for the night to fall" she sings on "Slip Away From Me". Palmer's night should fall more often.
Pick of the album: The spooky and epic 'Weeping Wood'"
