Review
On 12 original tunes, Morvan singes the strings with fast, clean chicken pickin', reaches heights of lyrical ecstasy through liquid bends, and kicks the rhythm in the pocket with propulsive comping. --Guitar Player
Morvan is a flashy, fast-fingered picker that recalls Stevie Ray Vaughan to my ears. 'Wiggle Room' is a cousin to SRV's 'Scuttle Buttin'. I kid you not. Testosterone-dripping blues fans will riff off Morvan big time. Dig her solos on the slow blueser, 'Keep On Believin'.' Fitting is 'Where Are The Girls With Guitars,' a hit-worthy roadhouse stomper all those country-rock wannabe women wish they'd written. She says, 'You need a real live woman to play that guitar, yeah'. --Bluescritic.com
There's a lot of talk in guitar circles about how women just don't seem to cut it... But Morvan plays with plenty of imagination and doesn't rely on licks or tricks heard a million times. --Vintage Guitar

Laurie Rocks!,
By
This review is from: Cures What Ails Ya (Audio CD)
Is she the best female guitarist I've ever heard? No. Is she the best female blues guitarist I've heard? Yes. A tall blond haired, blue-eyed girl from small town Illinois heads to sunny California, teaches college math to fund her passion for the blues, plays gigs almost every weekend and tours in the summer with her band, including her ex-husband on bass. Sounds like fiction, but it's fact. Laurie Morvan wields her Stratocaster like a Chicago tommy-gun and every note hits the target. She's a talented song writer, and a fine singer with a husky alto. If you don't smile when you hear "Where are the Girls with Guitars?", or shed a little tear listening to "Family Line", I feel sorry for you.
Her band is tight and rock solid behind her, with great vocal harmonies and smokin' bass work by Pat Morvan. The Laurie Morvan Band may not be a household word yet, but here's one old rocker who's rootin' for them. Buy this CD, you won't be disappointed!

Great music!,

This review is from: Cures What Ails Ya (Audio CD)
Highly recommended. This lady can sing the blues and play the blues! A good selection of music is in this CD that covers a lot of ground, but Laurie's intelligent guitar phrasing and gorgeous voice does it all justice. From the whimsical Where Are The Girls With Guitars to the soulful Way Down to her masterpiece Family Line, she walks the walk. Every tune here is a keeper and that's getting hard to say about a CD anymore. Get it, you won't be sorry!

Not as good as her newest release but still a very well done blues album. She truly sings about her life.
