"Shay herself reckons Stand Up! is made for "dancing, drinking and dreaming." Whatever the thinking behind this release, one thing is sure, and that is the likelihood that this album will propel Shay into the blues spotlight where, on the basis of recent releases, she so clearly deserves to be. Her growing band of fans will be more than happy even after they finally stop dancing and bouncing along to its raucous brilliance and beauty. This is an album that must be played loud".
