1995 Rounder/Philo, produced by Artie Traum & Scott Petito 1995 Top 10 Album, WUMB Radio & The Boston Globe CD REVIEWS: "She has a gift for penning reflective personal anthems that turn hard truths to life-affirming purpose….The lilting folk-pop melodies are graceful, spacious and memorable; the lyrics intelligent, image-rich but never forced, wise and heartfelt. This could be a star-maker debut." --Boston Globe "…contemporary folk music at its best." --Chicago Tribune "Over the past few years, I have been introduced to the music of hundreds of songwriters. Few have impressed me more, however, than the haunting lyrics, captivating melodies, and crystalline voice of New England's Diane Zeigler. - Performing Songwriter Magazine "Zeigler's songs are full of life, knowledge and disarming depth." --Boston Herald "Her work brims with originality…Zeigler stands out among her contemporaries for the poet-turned-songstress within her." --Portsmouth Herald "A superb lyricist with talent to spare…Diane Zeigler has come up with an impressive major-label debut here…." Indie File, Charlotte, NC "A significant new songwriter." --Sing Out "Her voice remains steadily angelic, and her soft riffs are as haunting as the ghostly imagery in her songs." Boston Phoenix "You may be taken by surprise when the power and urgncy of an extended metaphor rises out of a pretty, lilting vocal, evincing a sort of wise innocence." -Acoustic Musician "… up-tempo, spiritual meditations sung in a voice well suited to acoustic accompaniment - soft, uplifting, yet capable of a sharp sting." -Acoustic Guitar "Take this one with you on your next road trip. You could listen to this well-produced album over and over, wear it out and buy another for the trip home."--Victory Music Review" Her songs are honestly written short stories sung with strong, clean tones." --Burlington Free Press ”This is a beautiful record of spare, tuneful music that reverberates long after the album's ended." -Scope "Sting of The Honeybee is a stunning debut album that showcases her thoughtful and touching songs, herbeautiful and eloquent voice, and a certain quality that makes you instantly like her music." --Album Network "Don’t miss this newcomer from New England…[she] writes songs with haunting perfection." --Denver Post
