"Hearing the voice of this 24-year-old singer and songwriter from the southwestern hills of Virginia can have a profound effect on a listener. Teddy Thompson heard Dori Freeman sing "Lullaby" via an unsolicited Facebook message, and promptly set about producing this debut album in New York City ... Whilst it's the heart-melting tone of that clear Appalachian voice that immediately hooks your attention, it's the quality of her songwriting, the superb arrangements and the astute sequencing of these ten tracks that keeps it from vere wavering ... If you're an Americana enthusiast, you've probably already caught wind of the excitement surrounding this album's release. If, however, the only two "country" albums you've ever purchased are Iris DeMent's "Infamous Angel" and Lucinda Williams' eponymous 2988 Rough Trade record, then make this your third. It really is that good".
