Entertainment Weekly (9/26/03, p.94) - "...Lynne is so in her element with this self-produced, mostly self-performed, largely acoustic set of folk-soul that you have to believe the title's a deliberate misnomer..." - Rating: A-Q (12/03, p.132) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A stark record that showcases her unsettlingly direct vocals..."Uncut (11/03, p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Full of emotionally potent songs sung in that sultry, just-behind-the beat drawl..."Mojo (Publisher) (1/04, p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[T]he weight of musical and emotional heritage only adds to the compelling effect of the whole.

Rolling Stone (p.82) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[B]are-bones interpretations that are more light jazz than country, including a gorgeous 'Anyone Who Had a Heart.'"Uncut (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "In squeezing all the Saturday night/Sunday morning feel from the originals, she refashions them into doleful folk-soul songs.....Effortless elegance is the order here."Down Beat (p.81) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Lynne fearlessly embraces the stripped-down format, often going a capella or with minimal, late night jazz lounge backing. The results are riveting..."Mojo (Publisher) (p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The key to her approach is simplicity...singing in a relaxed, intimate manner that's totally revealing and always soulful."Blender (Magazine) (p.80) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[This] delicately rendered tribute feels like a candid self-portrait painted in watercolors and tears."Harp (magazine) (p.95) - "[T]his set of Dusty Springfield covers might just be her most unguarded. She captures the essence....Lynne shares Springfields' sultry purr..."The Word (magazine) (p.97) - "Lynne shows that she is capable of communicating the nuances of a song better than perhaps any living singer you can think of outside of Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan."Record Collector (magazine) (p.92) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Shelby's Southern drawl drapes itself beautifully around a set of tunes that were pretty wonderful to start with."51.31606

Entertainment Weekly (9/11/98, p.133) - "...This redemptive album returns him to a traditional sound and to the heart of his talent. Guests like Patty Loveless, Alison Krauss, Sara Evans, and Shelby Lynne add more than just window dressing, but the show is still Gill's." - Rating: A0.8560472

Rolling Stone (9/5/02, p.74) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...She has matured into a slick Seventies style of singer-songwriter soft rock....If there's a more soulful country singer than Moorer on the current scene, she's doing a damn good job of keeping herself hidden..."Q (8/02, p.130) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...That gloriously lusty voice is here, as are some tastily organic coountry-soul arrangements..."Uncut (9/02, p.114) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...finds her moving delightfully nearer the terrain occupied by sister Shelby Lynne."0.5706981

"...MORVERN CALLAR is eye-absorbing....[Morton's] performance here is spot-on, managing to give just enough hints as to what makes Morvern tick..." Total Film "...MORVERN CALLAR confirms Lynne Ramsay as an important, original talent in international cinema..." Los Angeles Times "...Blithely powerful....The wonderfully lush MORVERN CALLAR is pure punk existentialism..." New York Times "...A mesmerizingly cinematic poem from the first frame to the last..." Premiere "...The director, Lynne Ramsey, works in the tony austere style of Catherine Breillat and Claire Denis. She creates a mood of swank amorality....[With] a great soundtrack..." Entertainment Weekly "...Samantha Morton is so good you'll follow her anywhere....Ramsay and Morton fill this character study with poetic force and buoyant feeling..." Rolling Stone12.56126

"...A gorgeous blend of beauty and squalor, packed with imagery that will play over and over in your head for weeks....The most lovely debut in a long time." New York Times "...Spare and harrowing..." Box Office "...RATCATCHER is clearly the work of a natural film artist, and experiencing her debut is as much a privilege as it is a pleasure..." Los Angeles Times "...Ramsay creates a searing portrait of a boy in a spiritual trap. Pay particular attention to Rachel Portman's spare music score that in counterpoint offsets Ramsay's imagery with a presence that does not simply massage our mood..." Chicago Sun-Times "...The cast is packed with first-timers, who give wonderful, skinless performances..." Total Film12.4481
