"Lauren's passion and sincerity is evident on every track and so are the artists featured on the album."

Remo Ricaldone, American Roots, Italy

"Another keeper from Lauren. Esp. fond of the title track (oh my, does Mr. Wiggins ever battle the demons!) What really grabs me is how Lauren takes these old familiar workhorses and freshens them up in a manner that demands the listener hear them anew."

Obie, KUT 90.5 FM, Austin TX

"Lauren Sheehan...The woman with a voice dipped in cream."

Paul Stamler, KDHX 88.1 FM St.

"Bonjour, I want to thank you for the Cd you sent me, kind of a drive through traditional musical landscapes that shine different colors with Lauren at the wheel. She is more than at ease on each style, proving that American Roots Music will never be out of fashion. Instrumentaly (thanks Phil!) and vocaly, this CD is a real pleasure.

Thanks again for the good music, please give a "bonjour" to Lauren. Au revoir, Mike"

"Lauren's cd is FANTASTIC! I enjoy everything about it: her singing voice, her guitar playing style, song choice...it's just great! It's one of those cds you can listen to straight through, over and over. It makes it tough to choose cuts for radio play! Thanks again for the opportunity to hear and share such wonderful music."
By Karen Rakos, It's All Folk, KEUL FM 88.9 Glacier City Radio, Girdwood, AK.

"A very superb effort it is...."
By Dan Alloway, "Folk Fury", KTEP-FM, El Paso, Texas.

"I just got my copy of Lauren Sheehan's "Some Old Lonesome Day" this past week. Thanks very much! It's fantastic! I'm sure I'll be featuring it on my upcoming shows."
By Karen Rakos, "It's All Folk" Producer/Host, Glacier City Radio.

"Speaking of wonderful albums - Lauren Sheehan's is just great too. One does not know which track to play. You want to hear them all..."
By Bill Hahn, WFDU 89.1 FM, Teaneck, NJ.

"It is a fabulous album!"
By Hal Durden, "Our Saturday Tradition", KBCS-FM 91.3, Bellevue/Seattle, WA.

"....a fine new album of old songs, sung with love and respect by Portlander Lauren Sheehan....a fun set."
By Frank Gosar, THE SATURDAY CAFE, KLCC 89.7fm Eugene.

"Lauren conveys a love for the music itself, not as a tool for self-aggrandizement but from the pure joy of sharing stories and songs from yesterday and the day to come. "Some Old Lonesome Day" is likely to be a longtime favorite."
By JC Shepard, KRFC-FM, Ft. Collins, Colorado.

"I have "Some Old Lonesome Day", and it's wonderful. I'll be airing a track from it for the first time this coming Sunday, as part of a show featuring women artists (slightly early salute to International Women's Day), and I guarantee I'll be playing a lot more of it in future weeks. It's one of the best recordings I've heard in a long time. Wish I could be at Folk Alliance to see her in person. There aren't a lot of vocalists that can trade back-and-forth with Phil Wiggins's harp playing and not come off sounding wan, but Sheehan pulls it off triumphally"
By Paul J. Stamler, KDHX (88.1-FM) St. Louis, Mo.

"I just wanted to thank you again for the great Lauren Sheehan album. I really enjoy the music and so do my listeners."
By Keep It Country! NSEO 95.2 FM. Paris, France.

"Thanks a lot for the c.d. from lauren sheehan. one of the best i've heard in a long time! watch my playlists!"
By Paul (Harkie) van Gelder, Disc Jockey Radio 227, Radio Lelystad, Vissersdijk 11, 1601 LM Enkhuizen, Holland.

"Listening to Lauren Sheehan and her choice selection of songs presents an historic journey through the music made and carried on by local folks that have become what we call traditional-folk roots, blues and bluegrass music that one might imagine being performed on a friendly front porch or around a campfire somewhere in the mountains of Piedmont or Appalachia. Comstock asks you to sit back and relax and be transported to a simpler time of life and music."
By Frank Fara / Comstock Records.

"I really love the work of Lauren and, as you can see from the playlists, "Some Old Lonesome Day" is one of the most played CD's on my two radio shows here at Radio Voce Spazio."

"Lauren has been able to catch the real spirit of the music of the South, falling in a sort of territory where black and white music meet, without any prejudice and restriction. Her choice of songs is very close to perfection and it is sung with great maturity and sensibility, even thanks to the accompaniment of some clever musicians who gave her the opportunity to really do her best."
By Massimo Ferro - Radio Voce Spazio, P.O. Box 12, 15040 San Michele (AL), Italy www.highway61.it

"Thought I'd drop you a note to say thanks, I'm just looking at my programme for tomorrow and am finding it hard to pick a track to play, they are all great and really imbued with an authentic natural ring, wonderful performances particularly the harmonica and your guitar picking and singing, and a nice blend of blues and old timey, from barrel house to bluegrass. Its a joy to have so thanks once again for sending me it.
Best possible regards.
By Rob Ellen, Event Management/Publicist/Tour Organizer, Music Marketing/Radio, DJ/Music Fan, http://www.medicinemusic.co.uk.

"I want to thank you for the so good music you sent me. It is Roots Music at its best Lauren Sheehan perfectly fits my format."
By PENARD Mike, c/o ISA Radio, MILIEU, 01680 LHUIS, FRANCE.

"Lauren Sheehan can be defined as a "songster", one of those musicians, of which there where many in the past, that had a large repertory of folk, blues, country and gospel, in short, a vast supply of American traditional songs. Equipped with an excellent guitar technique and good voice projection, Lauren takes us on a trip through music and time when the sonorous borders between black and white music were absolutely ephemeral and the 2 cultures influenced one another."
By Remo Ricaldone, Susa Onda Radio, Italy.

"... a lovely collection of old and nearly forgotten songs and deserves to do well. Most enjoyable to listen to..."
By Gerry Ford, Country Music & Dance, Scotland, UK.

"I love this cd. Absolutely fabulous. I am playing it on my radio show Random Routes (roots) from 9AM till Noon, KEOS 89.1 FM Bryan,Texas. Will probably play most of it."
By Don Ling, DJ.

"Lauren Sheehan: The only way I will part with this cd is if I am robbed. What a treat to my poor old senses. Lauren you have restored my faith that there is a god for music lovers and he made you. I will manage to get most of this to air over several programs. Pick cuts are One through Seventeen."
By Al Watts, PBS 106.7 FM Victoria, Australia.

"I personally love this album, and it has several tracks which are ideal for our radio show. Lauren really is the real thing."
By Eddie O'Strange, DJ, Town & Country Radio, 783 kHz AM, New Zealand ALBUM OF THE WEEK (8-31-2003).

"This bluesy album is done very well. I'm able to point out the fine and simple backing and lauren' s way to sing so her words goes straight into the listener soul. My hat off for phil wiggins on harmonica as does a very fine job. As old time tune singer is laureen just perfect. I will rate her as a 9 out of 10 point singer."
By Dann Hansen, DJ. Roskilde Radio, It's Country Time, Denmark.

"In particular I loved the music, the voice and the approach to tradition of Lauren Sheehan. Her album is a true gem! I'm planning a review of it."
By Remo Ricaldone, Italy, happytrails@libero.it, Susa Onda Radio, Italy.

"I just checked out Lauren's album. I am impressed. Here voice and delivery are true to the tradition she is carrying on. I am also very impressed with the technical recording values. We will be adding Trouble in Mind to our heavy rotation in October. We have a four hour afternoon drive time blues show Mon. - Fri. We will feature it on that show. Thanks for the music."
By Richie BabbWFOS-FM.

"I Listened to the CD today and it was great to hear a woman sing the blues with an entirely different approach. That of a person singing the blues with the raw essence of emotion. Phil Wiggins was the absolute perfect choice for Lauren's talents. I can and will use a many of the cuts on future shows. Nice Work."
By Hurricaine Hawk, Hurricaine Hawk Blues Hours, NPR 88.9 FM WQCS, Florida's East Coast From Cocoa Beach to the Palm Beaches.

"Just wanted to say that I am continuing to enjoy exploring the music from "Some Old Lonesome Day". It is pushing my boundaries beyond the"straighter" blues stuff that comprises my normal fare on JuzBlooz! GreatCD, and I love your use of all the 'old-timey' instrumentation - banjo, fiddle, mando, etc. I have begun to use cuts from it on my program."
By Martin "Lester" Dunstan, "JuzBlooz", 3WAY FM 103.7 MHz, Warrnambool, AUSTRALIA.

"I listened to the CD last night. I really like it. It's the perfect combination of blues/bluegrass/country. It has a real down home feel to it. I will listen to it a few more times during the week. I'm sure I will be playing it on the show. Thanks."
By Rich Gordon, USBLUES.

"Received the Sheehan cd and love it. Played it last night on my Blues Highway show and what a great sound. Soft but not mushy Lauren really captures the essence of that Piedmont style. Phil Wiggins harp is so clear and just wonderfully played on this cd."
By Mike Halmo, Blues Director, WBOR, Brunswick, ME.
