What satisfied customers have to say about “TREES”

“Your album is really lovely.  Your guitar playing is impressive, the songs are really good and your voice is wonderful. And Marcel sounds great also. The duo sounds full, but spare enough to be easy to listen to. Yay for y’all! Thanks, I will play it a lot on air. Be well and happy and come to Madrid (NM) and play live for us!” ~Jerry Faires, Madrid-New Mexico

“I was very pleased to hear the latest cd of Denise Marie, trees, what a magical subject. The laidback atmosphere brings me back, deep down south in New Orleans and I can scent the soul of the ancient blues guitar players. The way the accordion blends with the guitar sounds very natural and easy. Lovely melodies sung by the recognizable sweet voice of Denise, sometimes with a beautiful French touch to it. Also my congratulations to Diana Bryer for the colorful cover she made. This cd is the perfect antidote for the confusing times that we are living in. Buy it or put it under the Xmas tree” ~Suzy Gerarts, Antwerp-Belgium

“Trees. The 2021 gift from Denise Marie and Marcel Koster. Trees:“What About Love” sends vibes that feel sooo good, and the guitar…..brava maestra!  “Last Leaves” fond sentiment of October cascades from Denise’s guitar.  The catchy arrangement and tones of “Old Records” and “So Sweet” leave listeners hummin’ and toe tapping long after the song ends.  The master musicianship on “Waltz For Denise” is poetically romantic, and the snappy funkness and dynamite ending of “Shady Tree” well….blows my mind.  I love Trees.  I love Denise and Marcel.” ~Michael William Moser, 11 December 2021, Ticonderoga-New York

“Het begint al bij het hoesje en de CD zelf. Prachtige tekening en verder een strak, simpel maar doeltreffend hoesontwerp. De CD is een staalkaart geworden met een gevarieerde stijl aan liedjes en voorzien van mooie arrangementen van accordeon en gitaar. Bijzonder is de Waltz met een verrassende mix van de melodielijn voor accordeon en gitaar. Helder en open opgenomen zonder productionele opsmuk. Goed gedaan! Hopelijk verkopen jullie er vele van.”  ~Dirk van der Meij, The Netherlands

“Hoi Denise,  Ik luisterde vanmorgen nog naar jullie CD, zo lief en mooi en helder en licht.  Heel aangenaam om te beluisteren.” ~Suzy Gerarts, Antwerp-Belgium
