"Anne Weiss is a human dynamo. There is nobody I would rather hear,
whether live or on CD. She is a tiny bundle of energy, incredible vocal
ability,
and great songwriting. From authentic gospel to the most plaintive,
quiet
acoustic music to the most timely topical songs, she truly rocks."
-Micah Solomon, President, Oasis Duplication
"Whichever way she chooses to take a song, her mastery is evident. She seems
equally at home belting them out or gently pulling them
along. One of the simpler songs on the recording is also the most personal.
"Dad's Pocket," which is dedicated to her father, is a beautiful
reminiscence -- "I crawled into the pocket of your flannel shirt still
hanging on the wall. It's still got tractor grease on it -- I come here when
I'm feeling small." The title cut,"Crossing The Border," is the other side
of Anne. It begins with a thumping beat, reminiscent of Hendrix'
"Foxy Lady," giving way to vocals which sound like Ani DiFranco in a tin
can.With lots of slide guitar and driving bass, Weiss sings of the
racism, however slight within our selves. "In America, riding on the bus, a
girl from Nagasaki suddenly turns and smiles at us. If love sees
no color, if justice is blind, if there's a fence in your conscience --
maybe you better jump your mind." All of Anne's lyrics hold this kind of
power."
