Christine Lavin called Mara Levine, “one of the best singers of her generation,” and David Amram called the international touring artist and jewelry designer a “Golden Voice.” Mara considers herself to be a song interpreter, and is considered by many to be an exceptional song-finder. Rather than…

When Chris Lavin and David Amram are saying ‘looky here', we're going to look. On her third album, Levine marks her territory as the new standard bearer for folk music with this classically framed set that finds her interpreting worthy modern classics, protest music and some of the sweetest vocalizing you'll find this side of the golden sounds of the 60s. A flat out winner throughout, this isn't about lo-fi, nostalgia or what ever---it's a delightful slice of the here and now hitting the nail right on the…

 "In the world of what we affectionately call Folk Music, I've sometimes thought "we need more song interpreters and maybe fewer writers". 

Since the advent of the singer/songwriter there are so many new songs constantly coming at us and apart from the truly great and the traditional, a lot of terrific songs never get shared or really appreciated as it seems most folk musicians are pre-occupied with doing only their own material. 

Mara Levine was an unknown entity to me until this, her third release, fell…

With Facets of Folk, Mara Levine solidifies her position as a folk force to be reckoned with.  As on her previous CD Jewels and Harmony, her signature sound shines through: Thoughtful song choice, creative harmonies, rich instrumentation, her own exuberant singing.  With an emphasis on songs that make a difference, Mara has created music that is very much for today, but also for years to come. - Si Kahn

Mara Levine’s new CD, Facets of Folk, as its title indicates, covers a wide range of styles all done with understanding of the genres covered.  The songs are sung with great sensitivity and beauty.  This music deserves wide exposure.

- Arthur Berman, CiTR-FM, "Pacific Pickin".

“Mara Levine has done it again!  Beautifully articulated, Mara's latest recording, "Facets of Folk" is a perfect complement of her gorgeous vocals with a strong sense of who she is and how she wants to express herself.  She meticulously picks each song and orders them so that you will be taken on a moving journey. The album reflects a strong theme of social conscience throughout.” 

- Jeanne Holton, WMNF-FM Tampa, FL
