QUOTES
"My faded memories are haunting me tonight" and this debut album from Nashville singer/songwriter Stacy Jagger contains some haunting music. Stacy's voice is a fine instrument in itself, as these are songs of love and loss, yearning and seeking. A couple of up-tempo belters let Stacy show the power in her voice, but it's in the haunting beauty of the ballads that she is most effective.” -Cross Rhythms/UK
“The lyrics and the production are out of this world…” –Eugene Foley, Foley Entertainment, Inc.
"This is the best CD I've listened to all year..." -Five Stars from The Phantom Tollbooth
"Stacy Jagger and her Faded Memories - I must say she had me from the first 8 bars of the first song on this fabulous release. First song is "Faded Memories" and on the very first chord change I reached over for volume control. There have been less than one handful of albums I have joked that I could put in a playlist loop and call it radioioACOUSTIC... This is one of them. If you have loved, if you have lost, if you have lived, hoped, dreamed, breathed... this album is for you"
"The voice of Stacy Jagger just completely takes one's breath away. Matched with a light, delicate and exquisite mix of country folk, bluegrass and americana, her voice is absolutely the highlight of the music. Reminiscent of Emmylou Harris, Patti Griffin and Alison Krauss, she has a shimmering quality to her breathy, candy sweet voice and the earthy simplicity she exudes. And with an ability to slide into the blusier side and touch on the ache of bluegrass, there's nothing left to desire from her release, "Faded Memories." Absolutely gorgeous."

"With a voice angelic as Margo Timmons and Jane Siberry...Stacy Jagger's latest music project skillfully mesmerizes the listener with a spirit for eternal hope and passion. Much can be said about about a style that merges Gospel, Roots and Americana with a vibrant hint of Soul. With simple lyrics and songs that harkens to the days gone by, she manages to convey a contemporary sense of belonging, security and comfort that skillfully embrace the inner warmth that we all seek within ourselves. This is music that moves and possesses an endearing quality that we should be so lucky to listen to."
-Frank Wing, Concert Agent/Agency for the Performing Arts
"The broad musical and emotional range that Stacy Jagger shows in her debut project Faded Memories definitely shows that a singer-songwriter is in the house. There’s plenty of room for her on stage to tell her stories in song.…it’s all good."
-Mark Collie, singer-songwriter
("Carry On" and "Forget About Us" for Tim McGraw)
"Simply beautiful... beautiful melodies and stellar singing."
-Margaret Becker

Hi Stacy. I've been listening to your CD, and your songs are truly marvelous! :-) It's a good thing I wasn't near a church when I first heard "Livin' Bread Woman", or I would have run off to the nearest communion rail weeping and wailing. It's a wonderful song, and I can't imagine a finer version ever being done; although, I'm sure the song will be covered many times.
Katrina Parker told me that the two of you are buds, and that you convinced her to write her own tunes. For that I thank you. I love both Katrina and her music. I told Katrina that the two of you need to do a show together in San Jose! How's does next weekend work for you? Thank you for sharing your music.
A spanking new reaaallly BIG fan...

"Stacy, A little over a week ago I watched A Journey Home, and have since watched it twice more while showing the film to friends. One of my main comments about the movie was the incredible match between the music and the story of the Waller's. Each time I watched it with others they commented the same thing. So I wrote down the artists during the credits to look up their music. I found your website through this search. I just read your story and found it not only touching, but encouraging. I even found that you had a time of playing music with Campus Crusade for Christ, which is the ministry I became a Christian through at college only 6 years ago. So I just had to email you to let you know how much I appreciate your music. It is very rare that I'm touched by music enough for me to search it out to hear and learn more about the artist; in other words, I'm not your typical music junkie who searches and listens to a wide number of artists, though I love playing and hearing music. So thank you so much for expressing your story and heart through your music. I plan to tell many others about you. I pray the Lord's blessing on your ministry through music.
In Christ, Zac Marshall

P.S. I also read that you're expecting soon. Congratulations! I was thrilled to hear that a woman with your heart will be used to bring another life into this world and help shape the next generation."
