Review of new Album “Buried In Blue”

“Song after song, ‘Are you Gonna be Brave’, Could it be I’m Wrong’, ’Let it Slide’ and ‘Child of Love’ demonstrate that there are no weak links at all to this album. Lily’s vocal style is bold and brassy. Her voice has a control, power and clarity other female singer’s wish they had. Her guitar playing is equally as good,  in fact I think the synergy between her and John Yacka is evident everywhere. Hear Lily stretch out vocally on the album’s title track, ‘Buried in Blue’, more of John’s soulful harp and sympathetic drumming….beautiful stuff.” Mike Hotz Rhythms Magazine & Radio Presenter Radio Adelaide
