"Canadian-raised, New Zealand-based roots singer/songwriter Tami Neilson made a real splash internationally with 2015's Dynamite!¸ an album that showcased both her force-of-nature voice and serious songwriting chops.Both assets are on vivid display again on new album Don't Be Afraid, but in a significantly different musical setting. There are still elements of the retro country and rockabilly styles featured prior, but Neilson places new emphasis on soul and gospel here ... Don't Be Afraid is a powerful tribute to a father from his daughter. The emotions explored so eloquently here resonate deeply".

"It's not often that you'll come across an album that grabs you by the arm, reaches down your throat and wrenches your heart like this one. It'll have tears pricking your eyes, bring goosebumps to your neck, and make you want to holler along in solidarity and hope ... Everyone will find personal favourites, but the ballsy, rollicking Holy Moses is wonderfully cathartic; So Far Away is a perfect sly blues cut; Bury My Body is a stunning, southern classic and The First Man will likely be the most heartbreaking song you'll hear all year".
Vurdering 5/5.
