May 1, 2015 No Comment

Hilary Scott writes, “We were honored again this year by the Rural Roots Music Commission. We were awarded the “Vintage Folk Album of the Year” for Freight Train Love. We feel particularly touched by the term vintage as we do hope the album stands the test of time, and the album does, to me, have a more traditional sound than my previous work. Thanks to all who were involved in the project, and thank you RRMC, and Bob Everhart of the National Traditional Country Music Association, for the honor!”

November 5, 2014 No Comment

Jay Minkin, in his review of Freight Train Love, says:

“I didn’t know about this St. Louis-based singer-songwriter who has recorded ten other albums over the last dozen years, until a copy of her album from KG Music Press showed up in my mailbox. It sat until last week on a cold, rainy afternoon I decided to pop the disc into my car’s CD changer for the commute home and it was as if the clouds parted for a ray of sunshine.”
