" 'Angel You've Come Too Soon' ...an absolute belter! She reminds me a bit of EVA CASSIDY - and the early days of OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN "' ~BRIAN CLOUGH - Smooth Country, SMOOTH RADIO (UK)
"Excellent follow up to Christene's 'Little Lighthouse' album. Produced by Mark Hallman (Eliza Gilkyson, Gretchen Peters, Shawn Colvin), this new disc is a great collection of songs that will bring Christene to a much hight profile in the UK..." ~Neil Pearson, FISH Records/UK

"...Dust 'N' Branches...Songs from A Wanderer is the newest release from award winning songstress, Christene LeDoux. Not since the days of Karen Carpenter has there been such a crystal pure voice, seductively enchanting as it leads the listener from one journey to the next. A world traveler, Ledoux captures the essence of her soul's desires combined with observational experiences in another stunning collection of songs that is sure to delight her current fans, and draw in new ones..." ~Wade Phillips/Outlaw Magazine - Nashville, TN
"...she could melt the walls of the strongest fortifications with the warmth of that voice. In all honesty, I can’t even point you towards an album highlight because the minute you put this on, its quiet, delicate, enveloping surfaces engender a complete mood that you won’t want to interrupt until the album is finished. If the toast catches fire behind you, you’ll stoically let the house crumble into ashes around you before you even consider pressing ‘eject’." ~Marc Rossi - Dorset Echo, England (June 2008)
"There’s a definite nod to Aimee Mann..." ~Americana UK *(July 2008)
