"Music Morsels"

Her Sweet emotive voice that has a bit of an Emmylou Harris feel to it portrays the creatively poignant lyrics wonderfully. - unknown


"Hattiesburg American"

Her warm, mournful and soul-piercing voice is interwoven into clever, hook laden, chord progressions. Like Patsy Cline, Emmylou Harrris and Gillian Welch, she is one of those rare artists who can play what she feels and make the listener feel what she feels. - unknown


"Control Alt Country"

Let's just say what we're offered here is one hell of an album by a young singer-songwriter thats got everything working for her. It's all there; the pipes, the songs, and yes even the looks!" - editor


"Green Mountain Music Productions"

It's refreshing to hear some kind of artistry in the age of synthesizer driven boy bands. As a program director it takes a special talent to catch my attention, and this CD did. Any of the tracks could be a single on any rotation - Mark Baum


"Nashville Scene"

She comes across like Sheryl Crow fronting a country-rock band without sounding nearly as derivative as that characterization might suggest - Nashville Scene


"Asheville Citizen TImes"

SEE THIS SHOW How clear can we make this_singer songwriter Jennifer Brantley and her band is one of the best acts we've seen this year. - Gannet
