Reviews of the Wake-Up Prayer EP . . .
From
Steve
Lamacq on BBC Radio 2:
"['Summer's
Through'] is just a gorgeously understated piece of songwriting....[Wake-Up
Prayer] has been
in the pile of must-listen-to-them-again CDs for ages....I ended up playing
it five times in a row, so apologies
to the nextdoor neighbor."
From
Jake Austen in Roctober Magazine:
"While
Greenholdt's voice and past work invokes classic, rural-ized roots music,
this CD triumphantly veers
towards skinny tie-era new wave punk. Best of all, this excursion is completely
irony-free, and this is a great
rocking EP of sincere, powerful music."
From
Terrence Flamm in the Illinois
Entertainer:
"Kathy
Greenholdt tackles emotional subjects via sparse arrangements and country
& western-style vocals on
her new CD with the Edsel Brothers, Wake-Up Prayer. ...Greenholdt
offers a clever take on schizophrenia with
the melodic 'Don’t Walk Away.' Her intriguing mix of spiritual imagery
and cutting edge rock on the title track
calls Patti Smith to mind."
From Cheryl Bruedigam at womensrising.com:
"Greenholdt
has found her niche and emerged energetic and ever-soulfully talented
in her own sound, capturing
a new edge on a classic genre. Amazing."
From J-Sin at
smother.net:
"Solemn indie popsters Kathy Greenholdt & the Edsel Bros. sit
down to craft another fine journey into whimsical
tales. .... [A] nuanced and solid approach."
