Steve Morse, The Boston Globe, November 29, 2002

...physical and cinematic, showing the power of a Sinead Lohan fused with stately, melodic echoes of Neil Young...

Sure to be your new obsession, she's played with Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Peter Mulvey and David Gray. A driving, new sound in folk/blues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth a try, December 4, 2003

I bought this album because I was off sick at home and watched The Bread, my sweet on Sky movies. As the credits rolled a voice drifted in to my ears that I had to hear again. I flopped off the sofa to check for the soundtrack listing and saw the name. In my weakened state I managed to get on to Amazon and find one album without the track I'd just heard but thought I'd give it a try anyway. I'm glad I did. What a fantastic voice! If someone doesn't sign her soon and get her music out to a much wider audience I'll start a record company myself and do it. C'mon all you record company types! I'm living proof that you can sell Rachel McCartney in the UK, just get more of it out here. Rachel, good luck and let's hope that you're a household name across the planet by this time next year! By the way, I really liked the album too!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great CD for lovers of folk and female rockers, December 17, 2002

Rachel McCartney is a wonderful singer/songwriter from the Boston area. I had the pleasure of seeing her and purchasing this CD last summer. As comparisons go, which I hate to do because sometimes they miss, I'd compare her to Shawn Colvin, Ani DiFranco, Sarah Harmer and Bonnie Rait. Rachel is a true talent...a strong strummer on guitar with a booming, but sensitive voice. Sometimes bluesy, sometimes rocking, Rachel sings about relationships and dealing with thier peaks as well as their valleys. She sings openly about her beliefs and struggles. I would recommend this CD, but most of all, look for this artist to break out in the near future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soulful folk singer, May 1, 2003

I just bought this CD from the sidewalk during a break when Rachel Mccartney (and a bandmate for some songs on clarinet - a nice selection to go with the acoustic guiter) was singing and playing for free in Harvard Square in Cambridge. I'm from Seattle and was visiting on business that day and had the evening free to wander and enjoy the vibrant local scene. Rachel will undoubtedly break-out to be quite popular and probably just needs to get signed to a big label for this to happen. This recording features 8 extremely catchy songs with Rachels soulful singing and some complementary instruments. The recording quality is good but could have benefitted from better mixing/recording - however, I like this recording personally and am giving it 5 stars because it captures the raw street-performance essence of that evening I first heard Rachel and co. in Harvard Sq.
