"Like Emmylo Harris, Toni Price is a voice that charms every time one hears it. And, like Emmylou, Toni is trulyn gifted in selecting songs and surrounding herself withe the best musicians. I have literally listened to this album over 100 times since getting it the day it came out. "Tumbleweed" and "Misty Moonlight" alone will make you a fan for life. Toni's the best."
Great Austin Sound

"Toni's voice has a bluesy quality and that great Austin sound. Looking forward to hearing more from this artist and would like to see her tour outside the Texas area. She should come to Chicago!"
Get me to Austin

"After I heard Toni Price on NPR a bit over a year ago, I immediately bought all of her CD's and have not been the least bit disappointed. Her voice is truly a gift and her band strikes all the right notes. This is just great music! Her albums are all good, no, make that great. I just wish I didn't have to go to Austin to see her, though it ain't a bad place to be..."
Sure

"Despite the cover that looks like an advertisement for a deodorant, this is a very good CD. There are not the blockbuster tracks like on "Midnight Pumpkin," but this is a very good set. "Dean & Brandy" is driving outlaw rock, "Two young kids gotta pay for what they did." Acoustic guitars blend beautifully on "Something," "I got a heart, but it just ain't pumping; I gotta fill it up with something good." The title track is full of twangy guitars, "I may be guilty of trying too hard; I didn't know it wasn't right." "Edge of the Night" is my favorite track on the CD, a rocker. "Misty Moonlight" is heart-of-Dixie country with fiddles and guitar pickin'. "Too Close to You" is a great rocker with a searing electric lead guitar. Toni sounds like she's doing a cover of Elvis' "Heartbreak Hotel" on "I Don't Want You." "It's 2 a.m. & this bar is closed; How did I get here? Heaven only knows," Toni sings on "Boozy Blues." Fiddles give a bluegrass feel on the pensive folk tune "Tumbleweed." Ms. Price does a pretty rendition of Butch Hancock's "Bluebird." Toni goes through the subterranean paces on Dylan's "Obviously 5 Believers," a song not often covered. The CD concludes with a hoedown that'll put a smile on your face, "Too Much Coffee." Toni's work here is sure and certain. Her band is top notch. Enjoy!"
