"Southern Avenue has only been together for a short time, but are paying their dues the old fashioned way, continuously gigging at clubs and festivals, and by entering and winning numerous band challenges. Coupled with substantive original material, they were spotted and signed by Stax Records, with high expectations, a contract which they accepted with professional obligation. This is a band that based on their collective talents and powerful live performances, is garnering an increasing audience base, and this record should catapult them into the international spotlight".

"Classic soul is another genre well known for giving its fans great stories, and Jackson leads Soul Avenue in an original that drips with the history of Stax on the horn infused "Love Me Right." Marc Franklin from the Bo Keys provides the trumpet on this story that finds Jackson telling her man stop taking her for granted. It is an oft-told tale, but when the elements come together as well as they do on this track and throughout this self-titled album, the story never gets old. All this makes Southern Avenue a memorable debut that immediately brightens up the early days of 2017. Highly Recommended".

"At various points along the way, we hear healthy doses of Memphis deep soul, pop/rock-charged blues, roots gospel, jazz-tinged neo-soul, flat-out rock 'n' roll and even a few dashes of country-fried honky-tonk boogie ... The musicianship throughout is solid, and often considerably more than that ... providing a perfect springboard for Tierinii Jackson's vocals which are - in a word - thrilling".
