There is a clarity and strength to both her music and her voice, as she takes the many disparate genres of music that have filtered into her life, and moved her, and weaves it into a seamless whole that seems to be greater than all the parts that make it up.... The intensity of the disc comes both from the strength of the songwriting and the power of the vision of the artist.Bob Gottlieb, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange

"Her music is haunting, beautiful, magnificent, stunning..." - Home of Rock Magazine describes her standard !?! music. Mudshow, an album capturing the Indiana landscape and tales, went to #1 on the Euro-Americana Chart in November 2005. A great American songwriter, Slats Klug says, "She sings like an angel on Mudshow - the angel of death playing Russian Roulette with the grim reaper over tea and brandy...alternating anesthesia and a cold scalpel down the belly, she takes names, not prisoners...like a voyeur peeking into our homes, relationships, myths and the dark night of our souls, Detor has left the truth bundled at our doorstep and rung the bell."
Robert Johnson Has Left Mississippi is quite simply stunning. David Blue, BluesBlues
