Greenman Review
by David Kidney
"Man I love this album!"..."I put this album onto my iPod after buying the CD at the park. I have listened to it almost every day now for the past two weeks. I can't say that about many other albums. I continue to be impressed by Marg's facility on the guitar, and I continue to be mesmerized by this beautiful album. Don't miss it!" www.greenmanreview.com

“For Margaret Stowe it’s like painting rainbows: tonality, understated playing and a wonderful ability to whip the notes onto the canvas.......Her latest CD, Mello Jello, is an amazing collection of wonderful instrumentals, covering Dylan, The Beatles, Donovan, Leonard Cohen as well as her own brilliant compositions. She’s an amazing player.”

"Good news! Good news! Guitarist Margaret Stowe's new CD, Mello Jello, is now released and it is a subtly enchanting gem of masterly technique infused with a complex and profoundly gentle humanity. Stowe's light touch is made of a pinpoint delicacy that feels perfectly conceived and perfectly placed; it feels uncanny with other-worldly nuance; it is beautiful. And, no doubt, to some these thirteen tracks might seem as light as a strand of smoke on a sunny day in, say, 1969. In any case, this is guitar playing of such astonishing lightness and rich delicacy in sound that one pauses in one's deeper emotions to listen. There is richness of imagination here that takes one through surprising rhythmic shifts, placement of notes, tonal variety that teases one's imagination, and swing that really does swing. However, as ethereal as this music might be, there is an assertive sense of daring within that improvises with confident purpose.”
