This girl has a unique voice, writes great songs and plays hard hittin tunes. If you like Townes, Hank, Sleepy John Estes and all that stuff you will love this album, so many different moods on this album but they all fit like a glove!
Definitely gonna do big things!

The CD features a mix of her songs and traditionals. Emily's music is non-corporate country with a touch of southern blues and Tejano. Herring pens hard-hitting, honest lyrics. Emily's musical approach is stark and simple yet powerful. Her songs have no bass lines and only a subtle use of drums and on occasion the accordion along with the three key instruments that Emily handles. Herring's voice has a distinctive country twang that works well in the context of her compositions. The sassy 'What Will I Do?' and the edgy 'Has Country Gone to Hell?' were my particular favorites on this eleven-track CD. My Tears Will Be Relieved is authentic and original and Emily Herring is echoing country's past for future generations!

Forget the sugar coating. Give me country raw and honest. That's what Emily has done with this fine album. Now, quit reading and buy it.

Emily Herring has released an uapologetic, hard-working, traditional country albums.  If you listen real closely you can hear a hint of traditional rythm and blues (and I think it's there on purpose.)

You'll get chills as she belts out her vocals without fear or reluctance.  Her voice conveys honest feeling before you  have a chance to pay attention to the powerful words. This CD will deffinitely be found next to old Merl in my collection.

Thanks Emily for keeping country music honest.
