An intoxicating and sublime version of a song that is already inextricably embedded in my subconscious... I shall have to make some room there for this lovely version.
"Janice Whaley put her mind to making a 71-track a cappella tribute to The Smiths. After a year of hard, inspired work she not only succeeded, she made a very beautiful, admirable, no, ASTOUNDING a cappella album. Morrissey, et al, you should be proud of her." -Tony Visconti Legendary record producer. Most known for producing T. Rex, David Bowie, Morrissey, and Kristeen Young.

"I've never known anyone approach a task with the clear-headed vision and unwavering dedication that Janice has shown on The Smiths Project. Embarked on with love and accomplished with style!"
"For me, The Smiths Project personifies why we all love music. Janice is the rare artist that might not know how talented she is...well, the cat's out of the bag. Congratulations and don't stop. Ever."
-James Roday Actor, writer and producer. Most notably as Shawn Spencer on the USA Network TV series Psych.
