Reviews.
American Songwriter.
“‘Waking Dream’ drums up poignant imagery.”
“Velvety Vocals.” “Ethereal…softly passionate harmonies.”
- American Songwriter
EAR TO THE GROUND
“Let’s talk about the music itself though; Kelley has a crystal clear vocal quality that feels like she might have classical training. There’s an endearing sweetness to it.”
AMERICANA, UK
“Humorous and playful…nostalgia and strength…accessible and well written, pop Americana.”
NO DEPRESSION
“Lora has a distinctive voice.” “If you like the sweeter rockier country […] then Lora Kelley is ear-candy.”
“I like Lora’s humor and all country albums should have a little humor.”
PENSEYEVIEW
“Her vocals are equal parts enchanting and meaningful”… “Imagine a meeting of Texas and Virginia, Natalie Merchant and Joni Mitchell, or Americana and pop sensibilities…and you might have an idea of what singer/songwriter Lora Kelley brings to the table.”
