Sounds Like: " I've heard Kristine many times live, whether with Tony Allen, The Backstabbers, or her sister, I know of no other singer that puts her body, her soul and her voice into a song like Kristine. Watching her face as she interprets a song makes me smile. Molly O'Day, Kitty Wells and Wilma Lee Cooper lurk within her no doubt." Steve Pritchard CKLN radio.
