I am impressed by the maturity and sincerity that this artist brings to all of her music. On an initial listen, some tracks grab me more than others on This Little Bird, but Allison's voice remains beguiling throughout.

The rare quality that she brings to her songs is the honesty which is conveyed by the way she sings and plays as much as by the words themselves. It's like spending time with an old and dear friend as she shares her reflections on things happening in her life and tries to figure it all out. I am currently hearing some of these songs for the first time and while there is a clear stand-out track (Skeletons and Spirits), I think this album will continue to grow on me.

Allison has a beautiful voice and a great style in her presentation. She is certainly an "undiscovered" talent.

She really sounds like Jewell in voice and style. I recommend this album to Jewell fans.

I would prefer her vocal style if it would include more between a whisper and a belt. Due to the emphasis on large dynamics, it is hard to see the contrast and nuances. It really seems to be overdone. Her lyrics are interesting, but they could use a better sense of rhythm, and flow better. Her topics, wording, and presentation seem to be somber and gloomy, rather like going to a funeral on a rainy day. Her production is fairly well done, incorporating a variety of instruments, and with good composition. But, I felt that sometimes more tuning needs to be done on balancing her voice and the instrumentation.

I'm not a Jewell fan, so I didn't like this album much. I liked the piano on the title track, and liked that track best overall. "Skeletons and Spirits" was a memorable track. There are many good pieces, they are just not packaged together in a way that suits my musical tastes.
