This was a refreshing find. A wonderful arrangement of some of the original versions of these old hymns. Great Celtic sound. Diverse, moving, simple and non-commercialized. Caroline Bowles' hauntingly beautiful voice and her rich interpretation of these wonderful old hymns speaks to the heart. It is a peaceful "wondrous" experience listening to this great CD.
- Carol Anderson Shores, Black Mountain, North Carolina USA

My life is so full of schedules, carpools, and deadlines, I love to slip in my "Wondrous Love" CD and be still and hear God speak through Caroline's soothing, contemplative voice. Thanks for the "spiritual spa" experience!
- Barbara Schusterman, Houston, Texas USA

Caroline Bowles has combined heartfelt simplicity with bell-like clarity in rendering this tasteful collection of hymn tunes. The ensemble supporting her is skilled and creative, yet the most compelling aspect of this CD is Caroline's unmannered crystal clear voice. Her instrument soars with the passion and grace of a lark. The tunes are profoundly simple. They seem chosen to embed themselves ever so sweetly in the heart of the listener. I highly recommend this wonderful collection.
-Tom Bozeman, Bozeman, Montana USA

A divine voice, leading us into the presence of the Divine. We use these CDs in our prayer services, and very much enjoy them.
- Rev. Randolph Vickers, Northumbrian Centre for Prayer and Christian Healing, Newcastle, England UK

I never tire of listening to her CDs.
- Joe Caldwell, Okmulgee, Oklahoma USA

Simply exquisite...they heal and inspire, these songs do. They strengthen and evoke mystery, both by the quality of her voice and by the accompaniment, so ancient and yet so modern. I am happy and grateful for this recording.
- Rev. David Price, Houston, Texas USA

Vocal purity, sensual warmth and comfort, and a soothing musical seascape of acoustic and electronic instruments, make her music so easy listening, especially for late nights and relaxation.
- Simon Williams, Cardiff, Wales UK

Why have I not heard of Caroline before? She is an original talent. Her voice has a rare and entrancing combination of achingly pure tone and sensual warmth. Bowles clearly takes pleasure in broad musical pallette. Celtic, folk and gospel influences echo though the album. Enya-like resonances meet the haunting simplicity of the Voix Bulgares. There’s a lively musical intelligence at work here.
- David Pearl, London, England UK

This album is a true blessing. Bowles' voice and phrasing lifts the listener and makes the music both universal and intimate at the same time. She blends the gospel traditions with mystic Celtic themes in such a way that they seem old friends. I recommend it highly.
- John Cassidy, Austin, Texas USA

Caroline Bowles has been stirring the senses of her Houston hometown for years with her beautiful voice and spiritual lyrics. Now with the release of her "Wondrous Love" CD, the rest of the nation will have the opportunity to hear what Houston fans have come to regard as one of Christian music's best performers.
- Carron Haight, Boston, Massachusetts USA

It’s fantastic! full of passion, while at the same time preserving an essentially folk like approach. I was pleasantly surprised over and over again by hearing the arrangements of these familiar tunes. Wondrous Love actually made me cry and I found myself holding my breath through Amazing Grace.
I am attracted to the interesting colors and textures of the percussion and the guitar work is beautifully sophisticated - a real Celtic flavor on several of them. And many places I find myself being led into a very intimate contemplative place. This may well become my favorite album.
- Max Dyer, Houston, Texas USA

I really appreciate the song selection -- Christmas Carols has some of my absolute favorites, rather than the tired old 'greatest hits' lineup that keeps me from buying the usual Christmas CD. Great idea, great performance!
- Barbara Schusterman, Houston, Texas USA

Listening to Caroline Bowles' "Christmas Carols" CD imbues you with the Christmas spirit no matter what season of the year it is. Her music is absolutely transcending!
- Carron Haight, Boston, Massachusetts USA

The voice of an angel! Wondrous Love brings the music into the twenty-first century while still grasping its essence. Caroline Bowles does more justice to these hymns than many popular contemporary Christian artists who have sung them. All performances on Wondrous Love are outstanding.
- Lynn Greenly, Dallas, Texas USA

For many years, I have been a fan of Celtic and early American music, and now am a fan of the “new age” style, atmospheric sound as well. It is fascinating to hear the two put together. The arrangements are very natural -- the power and melody of the original tunes comes through clearly, but in a completely fresh and unexpected way.
- Barbara Horan, Denver, Colorado USA

I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE this CD! I've never been a big fan of Celtic folk music - what little I've heard has always seemed rather alien to me. I think that Caroline Bowles does an outstanding job of making our “heritage” hymns more accessible to the average listener. It has definitely left me wanting to hear more.
- Natasha Desai, Seattle, Washington, USA

The music is haunting, beautiful, and transcendent. Caroline Bowles’ voice is a delight to hear. I am very glad I stumbled upon the web site and was able to hear the samples. I was sold immediately and submitted my order the same day.
- ZsaZsa R., Budapest, Hungary

Wondrous Love is absolutely fantastic from beginning to end! Being an avid fan of new age music, as well as sacred music, Wondrous Love is a dream come true. Thanks for this marvelous CD experience.
- Laurie Prall, Bellingham, Washington, USA

What a beautiful work of Christian artistry! The vocals are simply stunning. I haven't heard many recordings in my lifetime that moved me to tears on the first listen but this was one.
- Rob Coates, Mason City, Iowa USA

Wow! When I heard Caroline's wonderful voice and the simple powerful arrangements, I was moved to tears. I just ordered a CD and will probably hang out at your site listening to the samples until it arrives. Please keep recording!
- Marcus McClary, Cedar Park, Texas USA

Beautiful! Thanks so much -- we will be blessed by these CDs for many hours to come! I am a grateful fan of Caroline’s and a recipient of the blessings scattered by her beautiful music!
- Edward Fudge, Houston, Texas USA
