"Like a soothing breeze on a warm summer day, indie singer/songwriter Susan Alexander’s debut CD, Livin’ Large, is filled with solid acoustic rhythms, tasty lead licks and comfortable, pleasing melodies. A standout track is “I Don’t Care Any More,” a moody composition that showcases Alexander’s vocal and songwriting chops, as well as the collaborative talents of the CD’s producer/engineer Paul Cooke on bass and session ace Tim Thompson on acoustic lead. Recommended for anyone looking for a listen that’s equally soothing in the car, at home or on an iPod." -- Fett, Independent Producer, Azalea Music Group, and former Technology Editor for Performing Songwriter Magazine.

"Working with Susan Alexander on her first solo CD was both stimulating and rewarding. The primary objective was capturing Susan’s music in its purist form, a task made immensely easier given the fact that she performs most of the guitars and vocal parts herself, using others to add color and texture to the musical tapestry she’s weaving. Taking the absolute best of Folk, Pop, Americana, Country, and good-ole Rock & Roll Susan has developed her own sound and style best described as Suzanne Vega meets Cheryl Crow. From the opening track 'Almost Home' to the raucous final track 'After the Storm' Susan takes the listener on an intimate journey of life’s lessons from the blissful enthusiasm of 'Fall in Love' to the to the gut wrenching heart break of 'I Don’t Care Any More'. A mosaic of finely crafted storytelling 'Livin’ Large' tells me we can expect wonderful things from Indie artist Susan Alexander in the future." Paul Cooke, Independent Producer and Engineer – Sound Decision Music & Audio, Nashville, TN.
