RIYL: Mazzy Star, Scout Niblett, Cat Power, Jesse Sykes and the Sweethereafter and Cowboy Junkies
"Lonna Kelley is going to be a big star... Imagine Mazzy Star, or Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs doing lonely, sultry, hauting songs done with the kick and jump of some of the more up-beat Cowboy Junkies material." - Tucson Scene
"...some of the hushed intensity of Hope Sandoval, the urgency but not the anger of PJ Harvey and reminded me of a less insane Chan Marshal of Cat Power. Kelley's voice is breathy but present, strong but reserved, at times sounding smoky and slow, others full out and raw, a public voice coming from a private place." - AZ Night Buzz
"Kelley's songs are well-written, usually in a clasic sounding country vein, but sometimes veer into bluesy territory and occasionally stomp into grinding swamp-blues. Most are either heartbreaking ballads or mid-tempo songs that in lesser hands might come off as dirge-like. But the combination of the player's chemistry and chops with Kelley's haunting voice elevates them to a higher stratum." - Tucson Weekly
