"Even before Koko Taylor's passing, the number of outstanding female blues singers was alarmingly small. Things are looking up, though, due to the emergence of Karen Lovely." - Frank-John Hadley, DownBeat
"utterly gripping...stunning musicality...Lovely’s performance was one of the most unexpected pleasures of recent memory. Lovely’s style begins from sources within such classic blues singers as Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith. And, like Janis Joplin before her, she has translated those influences into an utterly gripping contemporary style of her own. Her set, which ran non-stop for nearly two hours, was superbly supported by a band that could do no wrong."- Don Heckman, International Review of Music
"In a seemingly endless cycle of average Blues CDs, Lovely's new album is the brightest spot on the horizon and a good bet to make many a top Blues album list this year. "Still the Rain" is a magnificent album!"- BluesWax Magazine
"a star in the making!" - Bill Wax, XM Radio, B.B. King's Bluesville
"The single most impressive emerging female vocalist I've heard in quite some time. Karen Lovely doesn't just sing, she is the song. Star power personified...she's here to stay!"
- The Blues Hound, 90.1 FM KPFT Houston
