| Professional Reviews |
| Entertainment Weekly (p.63)
- "[T]he actors nail just the right blend of reverence and vitality in their covers..." -- Grade: BLiving Blues (p.38)
- "Wright nails the four Waters selections with appropriate style and attitude. His reading of Robert Johnson's 'Country Blues,' supported only by Bill Simm Jr.'s slide guitar, is especially chilling." Billboard (p.41)
- "The songs are performed in WALK THE LINE fashion by the actors....Ms. Knowles sounds wonderful..." |
