About “I'm Taking My Time”
“Who is this South African stranger with so much talent, to have created such musical and auditory perfection?” I thought I had a pretty good handle on music and performers from the far flung corners of the folk music scene. Rarely did I receive a CD out of the blue (and sleeve) that so moved me. I was floored. I wanted to learn more about this well-traveled South African stranger.”
Roger Deitz, SingOut! Magazine
After listening to Mel's CD “I'm Taking My Time”
“A terrific musical sense, an evocative sound, and a classic folk voice!” Nick Noble, WICN-FM, Worcester, MA
“A unique neoclassical/folk/baroque style...Variety in the instrumentation and the overall sound. Mel's voice is clear and true... This CD is a beautiful end product! Nice work.”
Mac McLanahan, Artistic Director, Rose Garden Coffeehouse, Mansfield, MA
“This latest album is a gem, full of songs that reverberate long after the CD has finished spinning. We give it 4 out of 5 stars!" Maverick Digital Music Magazine, UK
