PICTURES OF MY LIFE is the first Mary Roos album that I bought. Who expects a hit to hit collection, will be disappointed at the first hearing. But who takes the time for a second or third time, is perhaps how I got astounded: so many stylistic nuances, on successful compositions, a versatile voice that never would widen and - yes, indeed - wisdom in the lyrics. Maybe it's my last album, Mary Roos said recently during an interview. Just do not, Mrs. Roos! Now your job is exciting and unique - and because you want to stop already ?! Anyway: Five stars plus. And respect for a great artist.
