Editorial Reviews 13 Ribs is a study in contradictions. The first few minutes are decidedly not rock and roll, but just wait; a few more minutes into the cd and the sharp songwriting and arrangements begin to show that Susan can rock if she wants to or play simply and beautifully in the same song. A very playful and emotional album. Band Members: Susan Voelz - violin, vocals, many guests and musicians
