Belle of the West

"It's unlikely Fish, or many other acts, will deliver two terrific, yet very different sounding albums in a single year again. But she's on a career roll now, taking advantage of youthful energy, enthusiasm and talent to push outside the blues-rock envelope so many get confined (and defined) by, proving Fish's musical creativity knows few boundaries".

"Belle of the West is Fish's second album of 2017 since Chills & Fever. Chills & Fever fans will appreciate the continued vintage attitude and instrumentation found in this new album, however they will find that Belle of the West offers something more rough and stripped ... Both sonically and visually, Samantha Fish has a potent mix of country grit, classic elegance, and cinematic drama in her control. This album has moments of familiarity and warmth found in a Fleetwood Mac album, and even the mystical hazy elements of the 1968 album Nancy & Lee, all while honoring the theme of blues rock".

"'Samantha Fish is fast turning into a musical chameleon, as she pursues a broad musical sweep that is well suited to her versatile voice ... She hasn't entirely jettisoned her blues-rock approach, but she's expanded her original Kansas City blues, via Nashville tutored songs and sludgy Mississippi rhythms into a rootsy Americana style ... The big question remains, will this be a pit-stop along the way to new musical pastures? Whatever the answer, 'Belle Of The West' is another string to Samantha Fish's musical bow and you suspect there's plenty more to come".
