"Tender testimony to bruised lives ... Jones's sorrowful vocals bear witness to the dreams and hardships of those crossing the US-Mexico border".

"Diana Jones new album, Song To A Refugee, shows us is just how powerful the result can be when an artist is deeply moved to respond to the way some human beings are being demonised and mistreated ... Readers will be familiar with the particular pleasure that comes with 'discovering' an artist for the first time whose music strongly resonates with you. Even better if they have a pile of previous albums - Jones made five albums before this one".

"After five fine albums of Appalachian-tinged folk songs, Diana Jones felt too devastated by the horror of Trump's election to respond creatively ... [Now], this brilliant cycle of narrative songs (...) gives voice to the world's dispossessed and exiled and seeks to "re-humanise the people who are being de-humanised by governments and the press." "El Chaparral" is about a desperate family that sells its worldly possessions to pay people smugglers. "I Wait For You" is the tale of an asylum seeker in a detention centre separated from her children ... In "The Sea is My Mother" a leaky boat carrying the dispossessed to what they hope is a new life sinks with its human cargo, while "Love Song to a Bird" envies winged creatures for whom there are no borders. Jones inhabits her characters with a heart-breaking conviction and Steve Earle, Richard Thompson and Peggy Seeger are among those adding their voices".
