What the critics said...
“Few debut albums arrive so fully formed … It is a great album; a subtly epic work of guts and guile with a rich and classic, timeless style. But it and play it to death” - TIME OUT
“Sensational debut” - THE SUNDAY TIMES
"one of this year's finest discoveries" - THE GUARDIAN
"Eileen Rose shows the single-minded spirit and intensity of Ani DiFranco, full of attitude and gritty, evocative portrayals of life on an emotional knife-edge . . . The arrival of a forceful new talent whose day will surely come." - MOJO
"Rose's voice is an earthy, expressive thing conveying lived-in loveliness and battered vulnerability somewhere between Stevie Nicks, Patti Smith and Michelle Shocked . . . country rock that marries perfectly hard living masculinity with perceptive, sensitive femininity. A shining debut" - Q
"Eileen's exquisite album defies facile categories, gliding from Crazy Horse guitar swirls to slow-burn ballads, her voice alternately strident and seductive." - UNCUT
