“Anne Hills is such an exquisite singer that it’s understandable that people might be swept up in the pure beauty of her voice and thereby overlook her writing. That would be a mistake. For me, Anne’s writing, in songs like ‘Follow That Road’ and many others, is as direct, melodic and deep as any work being done today. She is quite simply one of my absolute favorite songwriters.”
— Tom Paxton

What the Press Is Saying:
“One of the most glorious voices in all of contemporary folk music.”
– The Chicago Tribune
“A stunning soprano tone has made Anne Hills one of contemporary music’s premiere vocalists ... Her knack for writing heartfelt songs [has] brought her to the upper echelon of her craft.”
– AllMusic Guide
“Almost every album she’s made – whether as an interpretive singer or singer-songwriter; or as a solo or collaborative artist – is a favourite of mine. ... [The songs on Points of View] are direct, melodic & deep.”
– Mike Regenstreif, Folk Roots/Folk Branches
“She’s manifestly still in such good vocal form, her precise tone and heartfelt delivery giving her images exactly the degree of presence
and focus they deserve.”
– David Kidman, net rythums
“Points of View marks a welcome return of this perceptive wordsmith. Four Stars.”
– Arthur Wood, Maverick
“Singer-songwriter/actress Hills is best exploring the melodic turns of dark ballads and has a knack for natural metaphors
that reflect inner conundrums.”
– Bliss, Pasadena Weekly
“After a bunch of detours around the board, Hills returns to her own originals and delivers a timely folk pop outing for those that like to think along with their folk. The old time spirit of
Joan Baez is alive and well.”
– Chris Spector, Midwest Record
“Points of View is quintessentially Anne,
and it’s a winner.”
– Gary Tuber, Chicago Folk Music Examiner
“A singer of superb vocal purity ...
she gives songs a life of their own.
Anne Hills could sing the week’s cable listings
and make them sound marvelous.”
– Martin Keller, Minnesota Monthly
“On her new album Bittersweet Street, Anne proves that her writing is as strong
and beautiful as her voice.”
– Friday Morning Quarterback
