“School and public librarians have long introduced young listeners to Susan Harrison's song READ. On her latest album she has a song that academic and young adult librarians will want to share. It's called 'So they Say' and is about paying attention to information sources. It's  one of many great songs on Susan's new album, Thing or Three about love. Recorded in Nashville this album is more rocking than the READ group know".        Barbara Cockerell, friend and Associate Dean of WMU libraries “Harrison’s  singing  style is  ethereal, yet bluesy. Her songs radiate warmth and honesty through beautiful melodies and reassuring humor.”   WMUK “Susan’s playful, energetic performances capture the attention of any audience.” Julie Duval, Wheatland Music Festival.
