'The Fallen' is Audrey Auld's debut solo album, following her duet album with Bill Chambers "Looking Back To See".
"The Fallen" is all that contemporary country music should be - steel guitar, fiddle and twangin' guitar to a beat that's a shuffle, a swing or a waltz over songs that will make you laugh or cry.
"This beautiful songbird has a voice that I am sure is making Tammy Wynette smile in heaven" ~ Belinda Coward, bluntreview.com
Audrey's love of country and roots music is evident. Her songwriting is witty, insightful and heartrending.
Kasey Chambers included "Song For Clax" in her Top Ten Favorite Songs.
"I'd Leave Me Too" is an instant classic, and "Jellyroll" is a hit on the dance floor.
Audrey's version of Fred Eaglesmith's "Alcohol & Pills" is spine-chilling...
"Audrey Auld is a great singer songwriter. She holds a unique place in contemporary Americana/Roots music. I believe that this uniqueness is largely due to the fact that she is Australian. This affords her a totally different attitude as an artist than traditional American contributors to this genre. Audrey is one of the most honest original artists I know." Fred Eaglesmith
Audrey established one of Australia's most respected indie labels, Reckless Records, with Bill Chambers. She is now based in the U.S. and tours regularly. Audrey has shared the stage with Buddy Miller, Kim Ritchie, Jim Lauderdale, Fred Eaglesmith, Bill & Kasey Chambers, Tom Russell and Charlie Louvin, opened for Keb Mo, Junior Brown, Paul Kelly, Vic Chesnutt, Chris Hillman/Herb Pederson, recorded with Kimmie Rhodes, Carrie Rodriguez, Fred Eaglesmith, Kieran Kane, Mary Gauthier and Dale Watson.

A MARVELOUS TRADITIONAL COUNTRY CD!!!
author: Marcus Thell, SCC-Nytt (SCC-News) No. 4/2000
Artist: Audrey Auld
Title: The Fallen
Label: Reckless rec.

Australian singer Audrey Auld has something that I believe will be liked by just about everyone. Her style is traditional – a bit towards Dale Watson. She also does a very good duet with Dale on the song “Jackson” which is included here. Other great songs here are “I´d Leave Me Too”, “To The Bone”, “Without You”, “To Far Too Fall” and “Still Holding You”. Another good song is the bluegrassinspired “Missing You”. Audrey has written 10 of the record´s 12 songs. A very good CD with a new singer. Highly recommended if you like traditional country.

Traditional yet cool, it should appeal right across the age divide.
author: Country Music People
Audrey's solo offering remains in the traditional fold, but exudes a certain coolness that will appeal to the more image conscious fans. Although not related to Kasey Chambers, Audrey displays a similar tearjerk catch in her voice that is quite charming and works perfectly with the roots-based material, largely written by the artist herself. Audrey's own material is superb. 'The Fallen' is a stunning first album. Traditional yet cool, it should appeal right across the age divide,again demonstrating that Australia is producing some of the best country music on offer today. One more for my Albums of the Year."

An emotionally involving recording with much to admire about it
author: Drum Media, Australia
The word is that this is one of the most impressive country albums this country has generated since 'The Captain', and after giving it a few whirls I'd have to agree. There are a variety of country styles canvassed on 'The Fallen'. It possesses an alternately modern and 'old time' feel, with Audrey's influences obviously being fairly wide ranging. Overall it is an emotionally involving recording with much to admire about it.
