Sally Barris Press Kit

"Sally Barris has a voice like sparkling crystal. You could have knocked me over with a feather the first time I heard her. Her writing is from a deep, yet innocent, place and her point of view is just a bit off center. I am excited for her, she is standing at the beginning of her journey in this town, with all of it ahead of her. It reminds me of the first time I heard Beth Nielson-Chapman or Nanci Griffith. It’s going to be fun to watch."
- Kathy Mattea

"Her soulful folk soprano is equal parts mountain rustic and ethereal poet. The slowly building production begins with a gentle rhythm section then bubbles of keyboard and guitar come to the surface creating ripples of pleasure. Everything about this disc is beautiful."
- Music Row Magazine (review of Reluctant Daughter)

"What an amazing voice! Sally Barris has an excruciatingly beautiful voice."
- Pierce Pettis

"Excellent, nay superb, brilliant, etc… album."
- Kelvin Henderson BBC Radio South (review of Reluctant Daughter)

"This good album is full of top class, well written songs on the folky side of country."
- Graham Hassall, Radio Nightingale, UK (review of Reluctant Daughter)

"The singer/songwriter/guitarists sweet voice and intriguing melodies will draw you in, and then her thoughtful and emotional lyrics will make you listen over and over again with growing admiration."
- Jessica Marshall

"Sally’s debut CD is filled with her own intriguing crisp melodies and on target lyrics about life and love."
- Martha Moore Country Music Plus, Ireland (review of Reluctant Daughter)

"...progressive folk sensibility with a storyteller’s command, a strong backbone, and a confectioner’s dusting of country blues...Barris is somehow able to wield a highly individualized sense of melody and song shape into tunes you can imagine other top vocalists covering. In a sea of fair to middling singer/songwriter albums, this comes highly recommended."
- Craig Havighurst The Tennessean (review of Reluctant Daughter)
