"...a beautiful voice!"
Found on The Gourds fanclub Yahoo! Group in response to Sara's "Gangsta Lean" cover
"...delivered with one of the most beautiful voices you'll ever hear, stands out as a heart-melter ...That girl could sing the dictionary and it'd be good."
Tinderbox Music
"I'm sitting with "Inertia" even as I type (great name by the way). The vocals on this cd could lead a ship through the fog of all the dry ice machines in Hollywood."
Willamette Weekly
"Also recently transplanted from various parts are Steven Pile and Sara Shansky, who perform as Billy No. 9, lending symbiotic vocal and instrumental support to each other's sturdy original songs."
Boston Phoenix
"Listening to Stamp Mileage is like having an old friend reach through the stereo speakers to share a pot of coffee and casually reveal how she mastered milking the best parts from everyday life. Sara Shansky has discovered the trick, and that she chose to pick up a guitar and give her life lessons a voice is our benefit."

"Sara Shansky combines thoughtful lyrics with engaging melodies. Sara's winning combination made her a crowd favorite at Daisychain Music Fair 2002. On mp3.com her music often appears on the daily World/Folk Featured Music list."
