Blues Revue Magazine (Jan - Feb 1999 Issue) -

"Thornton's voice shines through!.. A voice that is clear and seemingly effortless, she also throws in some bluesy, Koko Taylor-style gravel to good effect."

 

The Critical Review -

The Smooth vocals of Mary Thornton made the CD quite enjoyable.

 

Music haven E-Zine

A brilliant Album!...Mary has a great voice and knowledge of music that shows through..

Thornton has a rich vibrato and the ability to get down and dirty with gritty blues melodies. Her vocals and stinging guitar lead blues tracks as well as steamy ballads.

This blueswoman makes you think of the days of Billie Holiday

but with a charge of electricity in her fingertips lets you know she' s a child of the 70's.

The first cut 'Second Hand is a boogie shuffle that sets the pace.The title of the second song 'Butt Kickin Mary' is a better indication of what this CD is all about,with it's backup that includes barrelhouse piano...Everhart has the strong growly voice of a Blues Mama...The feeling in Everhart's voice makes this CD a solid entry in the field.
