Midwest Record

"Burrell and her three cohorts find virtue in professionalism. They deliver unpretentious, self described "Hard Drivin' Blues" in which strength and understatement unite in an easy, fluid balance without sucking up to rock."
Downbeat Magazine
 

---

"Skyla Burrell is another one to watch. Usually when one sees an attractive female blues artist she’s strictly a singer, but when Burrell straps on an electric guitar over her little black dress, look out."
Columbia News and Arts
 

---

"Skyla has earned a reputation as one of the hardest working women in the Blues. She leads her talented band through all original high-energy offerings of Blues that range from jumping, jazzy and swinging to rockin' Memphis soul and smoldering straight-up Chicago. Through it all her voice runs up and down your spine while she wails away on her guitar and your feet just can't be still."
Suncoast Blues Society

"Brace yourself. "Red hot" does not begin to describe Skyla Burrell and her Blues Band. They are on fire musically, but Burrell could have a second career as a model or actress.
Blues Moon Radio

Editors: CNET/Download.com
 

---

"Many women in the blues have great voices and have made their careers singing the blues, but not too many can double it up, slice it, dice it and sacrifice it on the best Fender has to offer like Skyla can."
Music Monthly Magazine

The Daily Times - Maryville, TN

"This group plays a smooth and upbeat brand of blues, highlighted by Skyla's rangeful and soulful voice and feisty guitar work, which she often trades off with Mark, resulting in some fiery guitar jams."
Pennsylvania Musician

"Livin' Day to Day is a poised and confident set, which more firmly establishes the Skyla Burrell Blues Band as a classy, quality blues ensemble well worth exploring."
Jim Price, WBXQ FM (Livin' Day to Day)

"Burrell works up a feisty frenzy of fret-work on guitar while slathering sizzling soul on her sultry vocals. Burrell fuses classic electric blues to full-tilt boogie for a humid hybrid guaranteed to mesmerize your booty right out onto the dance floor."
Tallahassee Democrat

4 1/2 Stars
Who? One no-nonsense, highly talented Pennsylvania blues quartet.
Sounds like: Heavy, old school Chicago blues with a gritty twist.
 

---

"From the get-go, SKBB's rock-steady rhythm section sets down the boogie beat as Burrell keeps boldly singing for just a "Little Bit of Your Love." On each cut, the animated, dueling guitar work between the two prime blues pickers eventually gives way to Burrell's barrage of passionate, steamy vocals. For their confident sophomore release, SKBB draws from a broad and enthusiastic blues palette."
Alan Kurzer - Portfolio Weekly (Livin' Day to Day)

"Burrell's voice is as deep and wide in range as the mighty Mississippi itself. Her voice has the same timbre as Bonnie Raitt with the soul of Billie Holiday and a little of Janis Joplin's strength for good measure."
Fly Magazine
 

---

"Their music both swings and rocks. Not rocks in a blues-rock sense, but rocks in a hard-driving blues sense. In fact, if you’re a fan of blues-rock, this album probably won’t work for you. Their songs tend to the “straight blues” end of the spectrum, a refreshing approach nowadays. The guitars have a bit of a retro 50’s feel, light on the distortion and overdrive, some reverb, adding up to a nice clean old-school Fender sound.
BluesRow (Livin' Day to Day)

"With their latest release, Burrell, Tomlinson and company have scored another homegrown blues knockout."
Alan Kurzer - Natchel Blues Network (Livin' Day to Day)
