"Nashville-based, Atlanta-born, folk singer-songwriter Katie Pruitt's full-length debut is a tour de force showcase of the unbridled passion and sweet tenderness of the human voice, often within the same song ... Lyrically, Pruitt explores aligning her sexual identity with her religious upbringing, and finds power in the truth-telling. Musically, she is backed by a first rate band who riff like classic rockers. 'Expectations' is a nearly flawless record; Katie Pruitt will have to work hard to top what she has achieved here".
