SURRENDER HILL River of Tears
press Quotes
TAKE EFFECT MAGAZINE
"...their grittiest album to date, where rock, soul, classic country and western ideas are present...If legends like Rodney Crowell, Waylon Jennings, Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton, Stevie Nicks and Emmylou Harris are of your interest, Surrender Hill’s top notch brand of Americana should be in your collection."
LONESOME HIGHWAY
“The best album from Surrender Hill to date and one that underscores the wealth of talent that still exists outside the mainstream, possibly changing, but an always welcoming selection of what is and what could be. The tide is high for this particular duo. Let it wash over you.”
FATEA MAGAZINE
"...one of today's very best Americana duos... Their last album, the double set Just Another Honky Tonk in a Quiet Western Town, was one of the finest country albums of the decade so far and nothing here falls short of that benchmark... rock and soul elements alongside the familiar country and western and honky tonk sounds...yet another outstanding album."
AMPLIFY MAGAZINE
"Personal. Authentic. Cathartic. Surrender Hill’s music is all of that and more... deep, insightful lyrics, Americana music that sometimes tugs at the heartstrings and sometimes sets feet tapping, and explorations into the things that make us human. This collection of songs digs into life, love, and loss, with an emphasis on the latter, and it’s an earnest and genuine listen, sure to profoundly touch anyone who listens."
THE ROCKIN MAGPIE MAGAZINE
I’m not even sure what’s the most impressive here, the songs, the voices or the arrangements which seamlessly combine both the detail of Americana with the edginess and historical values of Alt Country with Rent Is Due, That Kind of Living and In Our Own Time all being prime examples that colour outside the lines of both genres. 10/10"
SCOPE MAGAZINE
