"...inspiredly funny...

"...unusually vivid, sharply observant...

"...Miss Weiss--the literary singer and songwriter was a very matter-of-fact performer of songs
that describe personal psychological states with an unblinking honesty, an impressive verbal precision and
a careful attention to detail." --The New York Times

"...an under-recognized singer-songwriter with a streak of brilliance." ------- Chicago Magazine

"A folkie who paid her dues in the same Greenwich Village scene as Suzanne Vega and Shawn Colvin, Weiss is every bit
as talented as those two and considerably more cynical and funny. She's also got a neat deadpan vocal style and a flair
for interesting song structure...very impressive.." -----Stereo Review

"...Ilene has a unique way of looking at life and translating her vision into
poignantly brilliant songs." -----Julie Gold, songwriter

"...a fine and funny songwriter..." -----San Francisco Bay Guardian

"Ilene is an excellent songwriter. She's intelligent and humorous and she combines that with a sometimes wild,
sometimes tender stage presence. You can't help but love her.
She's a natural." ------Loudon Wainwright III, songwriter

"A unanimous choice...a delightfully original performance." ------Chicago Sun Times
