Editorial Reviews

One of HARP's TOP NINE EMERGING SONGWRITERS: "There's nothing astonishing in her background to suggest she would be destined for the greatness of her debut album, 'Arc of Tessa'...Incredible musical potential." New York by way of Memphis singer/songwriter who has managed to corral a fantastic backing band incl. Tim Foljahn (guitar, lap steel, mandolin-TWO DOLLAR GUITAR, CAT POWER), Steve Goulding (drums-MEKONS, GRAHAM PARKER, WACO BROS, ARCHER PREWITT), Tony Maimone (bass-PERE UBU, GARY LUCAS) & Eric Morrison (piano, rhodes-HOME, LEELS) & help on the album from CHRIS LEE (Smells Like). Picture postcards of physical or emotional time underpinned by roots tinged music executed w/soulful & subtle perfection by masters. Megan's voice radiates languid southern indolence but can also bite just as quickly & strongly. As close to perfect as any record CTR has released. Hints of Opal, Patsy Cline, Cowboy Junkies, Lucinda Williams, Mazzy Star

This review is from: Arc of Tessa (Audio CD)

In this freshman effort Ms. Reilly show's us that there is still hope for the music scene. Here sound is distinctly original while drawing from a wide range of genre's including country, blues, and other harder to define sounds possibly surfer punk, etc.

Her voice is truely powerful and angelic, and distinctly her own. If you are sick of all the bubble gum pop out there and looking for some enchantment, get this CD. You will not be disapointed.
