The songs are sung by some of the 'best and brightest of Boston's cabaret singers.'""One of the best theatrical songwriters I've listened to. If you like John Bucchino, give her a listen.

"And what delightful songs these are ... Pianist Tim Evans and company belt the heck out of hilarious numbers like Iris Tanner's [Men should Come With] 'Warning Labels' ('Do not mix with beer.')"
Beverly Creasey, Theater Mirror
"Excellent collection. 'Warning Labels' is clever enough to have been written by Tom Lehrer. (Note, this is the highest praise I can give.) 'No One, Ever' is elegiacally beautiful, enough to bring a middle-class middle-aged straight man to tears."
Barry Perlman, Cambridge, MA
"Buckle your seat belt and get ready for the most clever lyrics you have heard in a long while! Iris has scribed a full range of tunes that make you laugh, make you think, and make you wish you were a cat in THIS life."
Jeanne Mockard, Somerville, MA
"I love the music, but you just have to really listen to the words! Listening makes me smile, and my co-workers wondering WHAT I am smiling about!"
Sandi Lewis, Forest, VA
" Great CD. Fabulous voices. Love the cover. Absolutely wonderful songs. There's never a dull moment when listening to this CD. I just loved it."
Kathryn Brady, New York, NY
"Totally enjoyed listening to this CD. The songs are witty, melodic and nuanced. In my opinion, this is a Broadway show waiting for the book to be written."
