Church house blues

"Rarely does an album of any sort have all hits and no misses, but Shawanda's latest pitches a perfect ten out of ten. Her melodic Joplin-style vocals soar above the inspiring instrumentation on four covers and six original tracks. Each one is as fresh as the breeze on a Sunday morning, alternately cool ("Evil Memory"), hot ("Blame It on the Sugar"), and warm as springtime ("Hey Love"). Perhaps the best thing about this release is its musical balance, best enjoyed through a stereo headset".

"Crystal Shawanda testifies and shouts the blues; her powerful and evocative vocals stir our souls from the title track, which opens the album ... There's not a bad song on the album, and the songs showcase Shawanda's towering vocals and her unforgetable ways with a song. Church House Blues should establish Crystal Shawanda as one of our best blues singers".
