October 1996 MUSICIAN''S NETWORK MUSIC MAGAZINE, SEATTLE WA:
"Within the first few bars of the title and kick-off track, MOON RISING, you are aware of the depth and talent of singer/songwriter Theresa Demarest. Theresa''s voice is clear, with good range and a pleasing touch of country warble that moves with grace, emotion, and earnestness through the blues of Haven''t Got the Time to the slightly countrified folk of Cry to Me to the outright funky Set Your Own Wings to Flyin''. As a songwriter, Theresa demonstrates her ability to spin a tale - behind which she masterfully creates a mood and a presence that can alternately send shivers down your spine or make you tap your feet. The arrangements are good - the production top notch. Each of the accompanying musicians are quite accomplished in their own right and are given a nice bio in the liner notes. Theresa is indeed in "good company", which is as much a tribute to her talent as it is to theirs. MOON RISING is a standout, a fine collection of contemporary adult blues and folk music." (Lorraine Foote, Staff writer)
