"Singer and songwriter Holly Macve was raised in Galway and Yorkshire, but you could be forgiven for assuming the 21-year-old is from the Mississippi delta or the Appalachian mountains. The shimmering guitar on Heartbreak Blues and the doom-laden piano chords and faraway backing vocals on The Corner of My Mind sound like they've been beamed from Sun Studios in Memphis, circa 1957 ... Thanks to the sparse instrumentation and producer Paul Gregory's deft use of reverb, there's a timeless feel to Golden Eagle".

"The singer-songwriter as a storyteller is the foundation of country music, yet as a genre it's often perceived on these shores to be a one-dimensional world, where lonesome cowboys muse upon why their girl has gone and doggone left them. With her debut Golden Eagle, Holly Macve proves such thinking to be a fallacy".
