Press Reviews
Eve's new album, Long Road Home, rocks like a big dog and features all the right influences: from Wanda Jackson to Steve Earle." --Buffalo Beat, July 2000***********"A voice you can't ignore."-- The Belly Up Tavern*******"Eve Selis? voice is saturated wit h country soul. She nails the highs to the top and sweetly slides to the lows with strength and passion. Her music is absolute; it rocks and swings, crafted by a crew of hyper-talented musicians that not only play well, but also love to do so." ?riffage.c om (Featured Artist- May 2000)*******4 1/2 YAKS!!- MP3YAK.com*************"The woman has range. One song she's purring like a kitten, the next she's howling like a wildcat ...With Selis, every note is right on target, which leaves one wondering why she ha sn't garnered the attention she deserves."- Rob Aikins, SLAMM Magazine, 3/24/99.************SLAMM Magazine- September 23, 1998 --Eve Selis is a musical force to be reckoned with. ...a work of tender beauty and raw emotion...the most poignant and heartfelt work of her career...Wire's arrangements are clean, spare and organic, with the focus properly honed in on Selis'lemonade-and-whiskey voice. (five stars) -Philip D. Robbens **************************************************** San Diego Union Tribune- Nig ht & Day- October 1, 1998--Selis blends soul fire, rock grit and gospel-tent fever into the most striking vocals of her career.These slow-burning tunes cling to your skin like wood smoke. -Karla Peterson*** ************************************************* CCM Magazine- November 1998--Eve Selis has recorded a solo album that spins myhead...world class stuff....an adult dose of life, love andfaith from a world class singer that deserves to be heard by a much larger audience. Echoes of Maria McKee, Patty Smyth and Bonnie Raitt haunt these musical moments, but Selis has truly found her own voice now.It's time for the rest of us to find her. -Thom Granger |
