"In the annals of books about Bob Dylan - and there exist libraries of these volumes - there is no book like this one. It is second only to Dylan's own Chronicles in being the most poetic book on the subject, and stands alone at being the most romantic" ~ American Songwriter

“Britta was as close to Bob as anyone has ever been, and offers here a perspective on a time in his life – the mid-80s — that has rarely been viewed, and never captured as intimately or poetically as it is here” ~ Paul Zollo, American Songwriter, Favorite Bob Dylan Books, Part 3, August 2021

“A female Tom Waits” ~ Linda Kordek, The Agency Group
“Britta Lee Shain’s CD, What the Heart Wants, should come with a warning label:“This album may be addictive.” Shain’s unique brand of cool, bluesy folk-rock is more than that good. It is compelling” ~ J. Morris, Folkworks
“Britta Lee Shain sings with grit and passion, some of the colors you don't get as often as you want to from the palette of singer/songwriters. I like the way she takes on the discovery of where a relationship is heading by the road it travels, literally or metaphorically. Ride with her, you'll enjoy the trip.” ~ Sonnie Brown, host of SongTown on Public Radio KCBX
