The Best of Muse's Muse Vol. 1
Ditto to that until I or someone else comes up with something more smart and sassy. The only thing I don't like about the above for a title is that, while it promotes the site (which is a good thing), it promotes the site (which is a bad thing--ie. it can seem a bit, only a bit, dry and commercial rather than artistic). Does anyone know what I'm getting at? It runs the risk of becoming an anthology of songs that is locked in year after year to this Vol. 1, 2, 3, etc.
Then again, there could always be a sassy subtitle...to spice things up. I'm not altogether convinced that such a title should have the word "muse" in it. Something thematic to the music might be cool.
Also, is it the "best" or just the best of what was submitted at the time?
Anyway, seeing as I can't come up with anything better, I vote for the above.

"Lovely voice...be very proud of where you have taken your music." - David Kershenbaum (Producer, Tracy Chapman), USA
"Astounding talent." - Julian Lewry, Julian Lewry Music, UK
"The album is brilliant." - Dave Ward, CKUA Radio, CKUA.com, Canada
"Like the fragrance of foreign lands, the most memorable quality of the album might be the intangible social insights that seep out from between the lines of Loveridge's songs, on top of the potent images and stories she has woven into this entertaining travelogue...Despite the entrancing music, the greatest strengths of Bakhoor might be in the storytelling. Loveridge was in a unique position to observe the overlap of eastern and western cultures, clashing religious beliefs, rich and poor, terrorism and war, and documents the humanity with an acute vision." - Roger Levesque, Edmonton Journal, Canada
"A 15-track opus. Wow, this gal gets around!" - SEE Magazine, Edmonton, Canada
"Finally Lorelei Loveridge, our visitor from Canada, entertained us royally with some from her latest album of which I Need To Go and Home Is Where The Heart Is...were outstanding." - Don and Heather Davies, Sale Folk Club News, UK
"Beautiful. Fantastic CD. So listenable, there's so much in it. The front cover is fantastic: 36 small pictures. Every time I look at the CD, I'm seeing something different. They're telling me a story. Oh, India is my favorite. I'm just so envious of the life she's led. " - Ali O'Brien, 'Ali O'Brien's Sounds of Folk', Oldham Community Radio, UK
"Wow!! I’m sincerely enjoying these songs and can’t believe how well she tells a story in the lyrics. It’s clear she’s actually spent time in some of these places. Lived it. Not just travelled through in a 5-star." - Daniel Thompson, MyExpatRadio.com, Dubai, UAE
"Don't miss her world; don't miss her." - Debbie Busby, Folk Northwest, UK
