    Lu Mitchell CD cover for Alarums and Excursions A 5-star review by Faith Petric
    "Fans of Lu Mitchell will be delighted to know that "Alarums and Excursions" is now on CD with new arrangements and several additional songs. Lu is able to channel strong feelings about the corporate world, the Christian Right, and the medical profession--to name a few of the targets-- into clever and catchy songs, never sounding, mean-spirited, or superior."
