From the liner notes by Charles Kuralt, CBS News -
"I have heard Marlene VerPlanck sing in smoky East Side cafes and on elegant concert stages, in cluttered commercial studios, in drawing rooms and ballrooms and bar rooms. I have heard her sing in the great echoing marble entrance hall of the New York Public Library. I have heard her in New York, Vancouver and London. Also in Hickory, North Carolina. You are probably beginning to get the idea: I'll go anywhere to hear Marlene VerPlanck..."
"No record album was ever given a better name than this one: �Pure & Natural.' That's the way she is, and that's the way she sings."
