Album Notes

"Chimneys & Fishes"
"...the sweetest-singing honky-tonk angel that Portland has to offer...Little Sue recalls a younger Emmylou Harris...Straight to the heart; a bullseye all the way. "
The Rocket ~ July 1997

" Full of down-home touches and rootsy arrangements...Straight from the Tammy Wynette school of confessional country, Weaver is willing to get almost uncomfortably intimate with the material...Weaver's voice just might be habit forming. "
The Oregonian ~ July 1997


" Her traditional old-style country songs go down like perfectly aged whiskey and warm apple pie. Her brick-solid voice carries a lonesome and melancholy strain similar to Emmylou Harris and Patsy Cline. A fine debut. "
Willamette Week ~ July 1997


" ...a tasty meander through the heartbreak and high cotton of C&W at its twangiest...Little Sue is a larksome waif, a smartass punkette, a sweetheart of anyone's rodeo, a brazen bad girl and proud of it. "
Southeast Examiner ~ July 1997

" Sue's plaintive voice and charming lyrics win over music lovers of every stripe...she brings subtle rock influences to her brand of heartbreak-country, bolstered by the quirky, honest lyrical style you'd expect from a good indie songwriter. "
The Rocket ~ June 1997


"From the lush ballads “Bonnet” and “Willow Tree” to spirited hoedowns such as “Whiskey Hat” and “Weber”, the playing is uniformly tasteful. "
No Depression ~ March 1997

" A mixture of country charm and exposed nerves, Chimneys and Fishes gives us what we wanted. "
Anodyne ~ June 1997

" Her lyrics reflect the daily highs and lows of human struggle with moving sincerity. "
Our Town ~ June 1997
