"I’m referring to a great voice perfectly balanced between country roughness and soul voluptuousness, accompanied by a true ability to gather rootsy suggestions, southern vibrations and black music influences in the most confident way…"

“Her style has come to be compared to names as Patsy Cline, Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch and Tift Merritt for the mind…Not least we know too Kelly Steward belongs to this category of truly great voices”                                 

- Roots Time  (Belgium)

 

“It’s easy to find the influence of Emmylou Harris in her songs”

“Traditional country, with a modern flair - Long Long Road has several elements of brilliance. With an all-star group of players: Miles Nielsen, Dan Pitney, Dan McMahon and Charles Koltak, all four songs are solidly arranged, each instrument mixed to complement Steward’s powerful and textbook voice…One thing’s for sure: Steward can sing, and she does it with an obvious passion that’s only possible when an artist feels the music and knows what it’s like to live the stories behind it…”

 

- Jim Hagerty, Rock River Times
