Kudos and stuff
- "Helen Gone is a great debut album and I look forward to the next
one....up close, sharing a songwriters showcase, I found the songs
stood out even more....the song structure and performance was right on
the money."
- Randy Bachman, songwriter/musician
- "Helen Gone have accomplished a totally unique sound highlighted
with sometimes offbeat and very clever lyrics blended in an
acoustic/modern music milieu. This is a highly impressive independent
album."

Costello and the Beatles"
