Long Sleeve Story
author: keith collishaw
I saw Devon Sproule in a in a pub called the Strand near Sligo in Ireland - she impressed me with her beutiful voice and the lyrical songs she writes. I bought Long Sleeve story along with her two later albums. At the moment this is my favorite. Must have been going through a "rock chick" phase when she did this. Hope she produces some more music along these lines (looking for her first album CD baby). I also love her "mature" music from the last two albums - hope to see her live again in England. She also gave me and my mate John a spare pint of Guiness so can do no wrong in my book

Jaded
author: Frank Iaquinta
I'm a little jaded because I got to mix Devon at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia each time she came through. She was my favorite artist that performed there and I miss being able to see her now that I live in Florida. If you love Upstate Songs and KYSS as I do, then I think you will find this album a nice look into her earlier playing and singing. Her newer work shows what a technically proficient finger style player she is, but I enjoy this album very much especially tracks one and five.
Love,
Frank

Outstanding!!
author: Ernest Dobson - England
I saw Devon Sproule at my local music venue in England and was knocked out by the total musicality of her performance. Not only is she a brilliant composer/singer with a very disntinctive sound, she is also an excellent, confident, performer. Buy the album but, if you get the chance, go see her live. A live album would be great.

One to make you sit up and take notice
author: Ed Goodstein
Sproule reveals a tough side here, but it's still approachable & sensitive, and very 'musical' delicacy even
on the more rock sounding numbers. I probably just prefer
her 'quieter' & less bleak UPSTATE SONGS, but really both
sides of her musical personality are strong. And she's only about 21. Wow.
