* The Telluride Times Journal reports, "an intense package of vocals chords. Holly is also a master on the guitar, and her acoustic shows are definitely worth checking out."
* Kevin Bacon-actor/recording artist said, "Just
AWESOME, incredibly talented, We really enjoyed her performance."
* The Farmington Herald on JILL HOLLY: "I didn't want her performance to end...You could feel the audience felt the same. By far the best opening act I’ve seen.

Review by Lisa A. Shiel-Indiespace Music Review
In this age of teenage divas, I’d begun to wonder if anyone over the age of 19 could get on stage anymore. Sure, LeeAnn Rhimes has a nice voice and a perky personality, but some of us still crave the maturity only a full-grown singer/songwriter can inject into music.
Enter Jill Holly.
Her voice resonates with power and emotion, from the first note of “Calling All Angels,” the first and title track on this refreshing CD. In her music, I hear echoes of everyone from Joan Baez to Shania Twain. “Common Ground” and “Louise” harken back to the 60’s, when JOan Baez and Bob Dylan enlightened us about the human condition through their music.
But just when you think the album’s floating into that cerebral gray area, Holly brings it back to Earth with the funky “Heart On The Line.” The gorgeous “If Ever There’s A Doubt” give the album it’s requisite love ballad. The song showcases the best of Jill Holly-that voice, that gift for melody, those grown-up lyrics that no teen queen could deliver honestly.
Let us give thanks for Jill Holly, and all the other adult singer/songwriters out there who remind us why we love music.
