...these girls are anything but po' at what they do" [Bob Strauss, LA Daily News]
There's no denying Home to You is a layered, insightful, and achingly poignant triumph that still works even if you just want to hear the pretty music." [David Jeffries, Allmusic.com]
likely to win over even more folk fans." [Kurt Orzeck, MTV News]
what makes the group's frisky, soulful sound remarkable is its convincing embrace of old-time jazz and blues."[Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald]
With enough sultry ambiance to be at home in either cocktail lounge or New Orleans street corner, Po' Girl features a simple, polished production of wistful, plaintively slurred vocals over a sparse yet warm jazz-folk accompaniment of guitar, stand-up bass, harmonica, banjo and clarinet. Americana can seem like a language from a forgotten era, but Po' Girl's sentiment never feels forced, the lyricism never cliche or false. They manage to maintain that traditional and nostalgic sound while the breathing fresh life into an old-fashioned genre."[Christina Saraceno, Rolling Stone Online Magazine]
