Album Notes

"Without the aid of any Stooges covers or six-minute-long audible walls of distortion, Ms. Walters still manages to sound edgier and certainly racier than any of her peers...Tracks like "Girls Like Us" and "Captain" are reminiscent of Jewel in lo-fi, but lacking in any kind of put-on grandiosity, leaving their sentiments of sexuality and worship endearingly sincere…yet with a silky personal intimacy not likely to be found in the stars of KROQ.

The flawless musicality of the album manages to never be at odds with itself, allowing each piece, whether it be the lazy strum of a guitar string, the prolonged hum of a cello, or the delicately deviant sensuality found in Walters' throaty voice, to imbue the listener with an ineffably gentle pain. The melancholy and erotic delicacy found in the album's sound make it an equally suitable soundtrack for lonely nights at whiskey bars or rainy Sundays spent between the sheets.
-High Voltage


"It’s a beautiful listen—and damn sexy, too, from the seductive openers “Under the Table” and “Girls Like Us” to the closing cover...”
-Texas Music Magazine

"...Walters' bedroom voice sounded equally pure and pleasing written entirely, to good effect - by the scene newcomer ...slip her on for size.."
-The Austin Chronicle, SXSW Picks and Sleepers

"..Walters is primed to be the next big female singer-songwriter to bust out of Austin.."
-Joe Nick Patoski, Texas Monthly

"An appealing cross of fumbly introspection and cool, trip-hoppy backing."
-Download.com

"..Walters is outstanding on both electric and acoustic guitar, while her rich vocals permeate her songs with life.. her music spoke volumes.."
-Music Connection Club Reviews- Live @ Hotel Cafe

One of the best
author: Jana
Well, I bought this album for "Under the Table" and discovered "Sundays" and so much more. What a find!

Extraordinary!
author: Liz Johnson
As a music connoisseur I am always looking for quality music, and have been really impressed by all of Maggie's songs. She writes one hell of a good chorus too. Check out Fingerprints and Flash.

A+

I can't stop listening to this album. There's a little something for every mood! Going through a break up? Try "Fingerprints" and "Sundays." Seeing someone new? Add "Under the Table" and "Be Careful Love" to your playlist. Night out with the girls? Obviously pick "Girls Like Us." And if you're staying in, set the whole album to loop and open a bottle of wine because Maggie Walters is the only company you'll need. This is honestly one of the best albums I’ve gotten my hands on lately. It’s hard to pick a favorite track because even though song has its own personality, they fit together so well. For example, I don’t know if I could fully appreciate the vulnerability of “Water Signs” without the confidence and sass of “Girls Like Us.” Midwestern Hurricane will blow you away!
