Maria's second recording, For a Song, received a 2002 Juno Award Nomination in the Roots/Traditional Solo category . Produced by Shannon Johnson (producer and performer on From Where I Stand), For A Song features 11 of Maria’s original songs and one traditional Newfoundland song. Musical support was provided by an impressive cast: Canadian Celtic group The McDades, Shannon Johnson (violin), Craig Korth (banjo, guitar, dobro), and with guest appearances by bluegrass band Jerusalem Ridge, Con O’Brien from the Irish Descendants (backing vocals), and Lester Quitzau (dobro). The songs range from The Lingan Strike, a rousing tale from Cape Breton’s labour history, to Take it Easy on Me, a gentle anthem for contemporary society. | ||||||||

David
Francey (Singer and Songwriter):
This
CD staked it's claim our CD player for an extended time, and was thoroughly
enjoyed by all. The CD captures Maria at her best, the songwriting is superb and the performance immediate and strong. Its an excellent body
of work, and a pleasure to listen too.

Campbell, Penguin Eggs Magazine:
An
immensely satisfying disc, this, full of optimism and substance
Peter
North, Edmonton Journal:
...A
finely crafted work that shows Dunn off as an artist who knows her strengths
and is comfortable with both her material and a strong supporting cast.
Kirby, SEE Magazine:
The
timeless quality of music like Dunn's forever has a place in people's
hearts.
