"Stunning - What a find this is... The whole disc is a sheer delight and a far cry from the mainly faux country material coming out of Nashville these days... this is exceptionally good." FIVE out of five stars! Maverick Magazine
“Songs that rival the likes of Guy Clark or Ian Tyson in their plainspoken, memoir-like quality, rich with personalized images and a resonant point-of-view.” Gary Von Tersch, Sing Out Magazine
“Nothing short of amazing… Comprised of a dozen equally excellent tunes, “Let The Storm Roll In” reveals Nygaard to be one of Americana music’s hidden gems.” Jeffrey Sisk, InTune, The Daily News
"One of the finest singer/songwriter/storyteller collections in recent memory...
'His Left Side' is utterly brilliant." Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World
Listen
"On every track, her lyrics are impeccably crafted – witty or moving, catchy or thought-provoking... But it is far more than professional perfection that has made this CD garner critical accolades from reviewers and DJs alike. This album has heart." Jackie Morris, Folkworks
"In her throw-back-to-the-50s, rich-toned alto, the artist tells story after honest story, making listeners chuckle, choke back tears, and sometimes just nod their heads while her well-crafted pieces wash over them.” Janet Goodman, Music News Nashville
"How warm and sensual her voice can sound... After this great album, we are all eagerly awaiting a successor." Blowfish Rootstime.be (Belgium)
"Her beautiful, powerful controlled vocals make “Let The Storm Roll In" a must listen.” Jerry W. Henry, Jerry's Music Review Tannehill Trader
