QUOTES:
""This
is the sort of sound you’d want to hear pouring out of roadhouses
as you drive up expecting to get drunk and maybe fall in love."
- David Cowling, Lead Writer, Americana UK Magazine
"Romi
Mayes is somethin else. She writes great songs and
she's got a great voice, but you should see her try to outrun a train.
I think I had more fun on tour with Romi Mayes than I've ever had
in my life."
- Gurf Morlix, producer, musician
|"Romi
Mayes may as well be from Texas"
-
No Depression Magazine
"Music
from the heart and soul, Romi Mayes makes it look easy."
-
Bob Harris, BBC
"Romi
Mayes is the hardest-working person in the Americana scene right
now. That's good, because she has a great new record out, and it deserves
to be heard."
- Slaid Cleaves, songwriter
"God
may not have made honky-tonk angels, but came damned close
with Romi Mayes"
- Cindy Filipenko, Herizons Magazine
"She
is going to blow you away."
\- Michael Nave
Talent buyer, Woody Guthrie Folk Festival
"If
you were around the Canadian music scene in the late 80's and experienced
the early buzz surrounding the music of k.d. lang (at least the exctiement
part of that phenomena);then get ready for another chapter of the
same thing..."
-Larry Delaney
Editor, Country Music News
"The simple charm of Mayes' melodies and the transfixing beauty
of her torchy twang command the centre stage."
-Darryl Sterdan
The Winnipeg Sun
"A
soothing voice that bridges the gap between Loretta Lynn and Nanci
Griffith, and delivers something a little more accessible to the less
adventuresome"
-Broose Tulloch
CKUW, 95.9 FM
"Romi
Mayes is a charming and passionate singer/guitar player whose years
of experience in Winnipeg's unpretentious community have assured her
confidence and a deep understanding of true roots music."
-John Scoles
Proprietor, Times Change(d) High and Lonesome Club
"Winnipeg
is producing some incredibly hot musical acts. Among them is Romi
Mayes… a Canadian original, an innovative, creative and enthusiastic
musician."
-Al Beeber, The Lethbridge Herald
"…rowdy
enough to incite the most scandalous of bar brawls, yet sensitive
enough to track down and return the knocked out teeth to the proper
recipient the following morning."
- Shain Shapiro, The View, Hamilton, ON
