Here are a few quotes that I feel sums up Liz's music. All of these are from CD reviews
of Done Gone Fire. The websites I found them on are all credited, both here and in the links section, if you'd like to read the whole review for yourself. This is by no means a complete list, but that is not my intention at the moment.

"Liz Janes, whose background is the 'Northwest Punk/Improv scene,' offers up Dog Gone Fire, another album that sheds the Punk stigma and ideology for an incredibly personal, strikingly different kind of blues and country."

Fineprint magazine

"Liz Janes has created a wonderfully melancholy but simultaneously euphoric album in Done Gone Fire. Running the full range of emotions and stylings, from light-hearted folk songs to sultry and raw creations, Done Gone Fire still finds time for old-fashioned blues. The album successfully recaptures the raw spirit of the original pioneers of the genre."

"For those girded with a strong sense of self and undaunted by the inscrutable mystery and paradox of the human condition, Done Gone Fire is a treasure to behold."

"Liz Janes has created a memorable album, a great combination of singer-songwriter music and noise rock."

"Emerging out of the northwest punk improv scene, Liz Janes takes a breath and tells it straight. There is still a clever tumbling of fingers, a snapping, a plucking, an aggressive pulling;"

"In the first two seconds, I realized that Liz Janes wanted to me to hear HER first, not the guitar, but HER."
