In case you were sleeping through the long winter and missed some of the very nice things people wrote about the EP this is what they said:
“A songwriting talent that drags deep into traditional country tongue-twisting – her full album later in the year should be a peach” Q Magazine
“Stunning debut EP from Nashville girl. This seven-track taster for an album proper later in the year is terrific from start to finish” 4/5 Uncut
“The Nashville country singer’s wry vocal drawl has earned her comparisons to Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline” The Sun, One to watch for 2010
“There’s a skewedness to this debut EP which should give it much wider appeal than the average compendium of whisky and sobs” Dazed & Confused
“Her voice is extraordinary. Just wait till you hear her songs about teenage pregnancy, ruined love or female braggadocio” The Guardian
“Caitlin Rose is a Nashville country sensation with a voice so wry and heart-breaking it seems no co-incidence she shares a birthplace with Jack Daniels whiskey” The Independent
“A deeply lovable record” Guardian Guide
“Her voice is as sweet as Saturday night whisky and rings as clear as a Sunday church bell” 4/5 Daily Mirror
“Rose can break your heart like Patsy, but bolts on a lyrical panache that suggests a serious star for the future” Independent On Sunday
“Quite Lovely” Time Out
“Sweet sounding, fabulously wry vocal drawl… a 21st century talent” Metro
