"Big-voiced blues/soul vocalist Kat Riggins comes across as seriously inspired and fully human on her new album Progeny ... Loaded down with top-tier songs and performances, you'd best take it old-school and listen to it all at once. There's a lot to relate to here but don't miss "Woahman" or the simple, a cappella beauty of "Walk With Me Lord." Kat Riggins has made a powerful statement of self with this record, creating with the sort of truth and transparency that will make anyone stop and listen".

"From its first notes, Progeny proves to be a hard-knocking, norm-shocking, blues-rocking statement. It's not so much entertainment as exhortation, calling us to be our highest selves instead of "Sinking Low". It's also part of the personal movement Riggins calls a "Blues Revival," and it's got that spirit. Collective. Compelling. Most of all, contagious. These thirteen songs will worm their way into your head, heart and soul. A wide variety of styles - rock, soul, slow blues, funk and ballads - allows Riggins to display the full range of her talents. She goes from soothing to searing in seconds. If there's any occlusion in this gem of an album, it's that sometimes the instrumentation overpowers the lyrics. Kat's got a message, and by golly, she's going to be all-caps HEARD".
