“Maybe growing up in Nottinghamshire is what sets Jan Bell apart from the run of local lady
folkies. Or maybe its the slide guitars, harmonicas, mandolins and banjos. Dark, old timey
spareness……gorgeous ” – Chuck Eddy, The Village Voice

“Bell’s music isn’t strictly bluegrass, but her reworking of old-time country and jug-band
blues is remarkably nuanced. It embodies the wide-open spirit of what has become an antic,
hybrid genre.” – Edd Hurt, The Nashville Scene

“Up tempo, soulful country songs.” – Hank Schteamer, Time Out NY
