“Ok, y'all... if you love old acoustic blues like I do, you're in for a treat. This is the real deal. Like the late Robert Lewis "Guitar Gabriel" Jones said himself: "Music is a feeling. If you can't feel what you are doing you can't do it... I'm good but I don't brag it. I am not afraid to get in front of nobody. I have played so much guitar it could make your ass hurt." How sweet it is.”

“Classic new talent with some dark fun in them thar songs... great harmonies, awesome slide guitar, a musical story that builds nicely (with some darn wicked solos throughout).”

“I'm surprised AS folks haven't been all over the music of Esther Sparks yet. This is some sassy folk from Scotland via Atlanta and New Orleans. Fans of Thea Gilmore, Michelle Shocked, Ani DiFranco, and other soulful, powerful good female singer-songwriters should check it out.”

“You know when you happen across a new Amie Street artist and are palpably reminded of what makes this site so great? Brandon Edwards is one of those artists. He has a raw, vulnerable talent that struck me right away. Hope it does you, too. Lots of good songwriting on this lo-fi album.”

“Cool, eclectic and interesting, Matthew Gair manages to sound timeless and modern at the same time. As if he's channeling Ry Cooder and Simon & Garfunkel, while making sure to keep things edgy and weird in a postmodern sort of way.”

“Here's a sad and lovely ballad that hits its mark. If you're a fan of Sufjan Stevens, you're sure to like it. (And no doubt Jeremy Larson's work in general.) ”

“Yet another' great song from The Kin... rockin' with their signature harmonies front and center.”

“I am in love with these guys. Never heard them before, but I'm so glad I checked them out. You could call their music 'chamber pop' or 'acoustic alternative folk' or a myriad of things. But I call them terrific. With an exquisite string section, awesome vocals, interesting lyrics and complex compositions, they are right up an indie audiophile's alley. ”

“This is one of those songs best described by feeling or mood rather than style or musicality. Full of poignant, bittersweet melancholy, it is sweet enough to get you hooked and savory enough to keep you wanting more.”

“Marina V has that magical combination of full-on pop accessibility and dramatic flair plus artistic integrity and sincerity. Fans of Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos take heed.”

“A reggae-esque, world-beat, Latino dance song with the emphasis on 'dance'... charming in every way. Definitely has that signature Forro in the Dark sound. ”

“I just can't resist a rock band with cello... especially when it's integrated this nicely. Short but sweet.”
