Rivers and Vessels

by Joan Shelley

theexplodingogre The sweetness of the harmony and beauty of the tracks made me have to purchase this album. The vocals float like ethereal sprites with compelling warmness yet a certain captivating sadness as well. This is what Americana should sound like... this is what country should sound like... for it's so real and emotionally delivered... yet absolutely gorgeous. Favorite track: Time Has Told Me.

Jason Bartlett simply beautiful. it's one of those albums that slowly creeps into your heart and lives there. Favorite track: Time Has Told Me.

Ward Wilson Just amazing vocals and music. Favorite track: Magnolia (feat. Julia Purcell).
