"Stoneground Words, considered by many of her fans as her finest work, was the first of these, utilizing a strong team of session players. They helped deliver a set of often reflective, even therapeutic, songs such as Maybe I Was (A Golf Ball) which is quite arresting in construction and lyrics. Together Alone adds an effective gospel-tinged chorus, while the title track has a haunting and ethereal quality befitting of its solitary subject matter".
