Love lives on

"Fuchs is at her best when she's pushing her voice. She sounds great in the less densely produced songs, but when she's in the thick of a wall of sound, she's extraordinary. Not many contemporary artists have the voice to survive in this kind of rich, throwback production environment. Fuchs thrives in it".

"There is gospel in the air of a confessional "Faithful Sinner," and "Fight My Way" is a pretty patch of light, mandolin-flecked bluegrass that feels organic and natural. But, the heart of Love Lives On, with its simmering beds of organ, sunny horns and sly, gleaming guitar touches reminiscent of Steve Cropper, belongs to Stax Records. These are troubled times, and Fuchs is a healer, handling the heavy emotional terrain of Love Lives On with honesty and raw passion as one of the great blues singers of her generation. Janis would be impressed".

"Dana's vocals are as always, absolutely beautiful - very soulful, carrying lots of emotion and with plenty of power when the song calls for it. She's certainly one of the best blues/soul singers around at the moment.The album kicks off with "Backstreet baby". Nice guitar work and a horn section help give the song a great sound, but as always it's those vocals that steal the limelight. It's a song that has a bit of everything - rock, blues, soul, funk - all mixed together perfectly.From there the album goes from one great song to another - not a single weak track in sight. I couldn't even pick my favourite track as the choice is so hard".
