REVIEW:

OF “LIVE & ACOUSTIC“ - BLUES MATTERS MAGAZINE:

"FOUR OF THE FIVE TRACKS ARE WELL CHOSEN COVERS BUT FOR ME THE ORIGINAL OPENER “WISH HER WELL” IS THE STAND OUT. IT’S A WELL WRITTEN SONG ABOUT LOST LOVE BUT WITH A SLIGHT TWIST THAT SETS IT APART AND EMMA DELIVERS THE VOCAL BEAUTIFULLY, HER VOICE HAS A SWEETNESS AND CLARITY AND UNLIKE MANY SINGERS OUT THERE, HER DICTION IS TREMENDOUS" STEVE YOURGLIVCH - BLUES MATTERS
