↑(en) Michael La Torre, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, « Artist Spotlight - Mariee Sioux », sur altrevue.com, : « What artists have inspired you in your career? "Wow, I have so many inspirations, but the major ones from early years even before I wrote my own songs were: a home town legend Aaron Ross who wrote songs nearly as good as Bob Dylan and amazed the youth in our community. Joni Mitchel who entranced me with her depth of feeling, voice and incredible song smithing since I was about 9. Simon and Garfunkel. Also in high school Elliot Smith with his sensitive gentle power, Neutral Milk hotel and their mind blowing lyrics and one of a kind sound, I had never heard anything like it and listened to "Aeroplane Over the Sea" probably more than any other record during high school. Bjork always mind blown. Leonard Cohen, Kate Bush and Joanna Newsom felt and still feel like some of the greatest gifts we've been given to the musical world in centuries, their authenticity and miraculous songwriting have inspired me immensely." ».
