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!

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.
