“Speeding Ticket and A Valentine” Climbing Charts and Receiving Rave
Reviews
Music Critic Rob O’Connor Highlightes Blame Sally in Yahoo Music’s “Women to
Watch in 2011?
“With their decade plus of live performances and recordings, [Blame Sally]
has established a legacy of song combining country, folk, rock, Celtic and
strains of classical music, which has brought originality together with a roots
sensibility and pop accessibility…through all of the beauty of the lyrics, their
layered and crafted harmonies simply enchant with each listen” No
Depression.com Full Feature
“Before the first note is even sung, the opening groove from for ladies,
known collectively as Blame Sally, lets the listener know that they have come
to play, and do they ever play throughout all ten stellar tracks. Lyrically,
Blame Sally takes a sledge hammer to the notion that men are from Mars,
women are from Venus as they play and sing truth to humanity.” -Elmore
Magazine
“There’s a lot of Stevie Nicks in Blame Sally’s countrified folk rock, but these
veterans are less full of themselves, earthier, more self-assured – and more
fun, too.” -Vintage Guitar Magazine
“A sensual vocal blend and their agile instrumental prowess find them earnest
and assertive in terms of parlaying the material. The brittle emotions
entrenched in “Bird In Hand” and the suggestive sentiments conveyed
through “Countdown” demonstrate a certain subtlety that makes their music
all the more seductive.” -Blurt
The Bay Area female quartet serves up a terrific blend of Americana, rock
and pop. They’re equally at home with rollicking numbers like “Countdown”
and gentle folk-country ballads, such as “Take Me There.” “Wide Open
Spaces” has a bit of of funk that spices the song up before it surges into a
sweet, gorgeous chorus. This could well be the group’s best album yet. And
that’s saying a lot. Paul Freeman for popcultureclassics.com
“Blame Sally puts their heart and soul into every note, and while they have
an identifiable sound, their music defies easy categorization. Its wide-open
style and willingness to take risks allowed Blame Sally to build a singular niche.
On their new album, Speeding Ticket and a Valentine, Blame Sally showcase
their considerable songwriting chops, soaring harmonies, and sterling
musicianship on ten impressive tunes.” -East Bay Express
“In keeping with the double-edged sword of its title, Speeding Ticket and a
Valentine showcases the multiple styles and personalities of a band that has
become a success by staying true to itself… Band member Renee Harcourt
has a melodic sensibility and a gift for ear-burrowing hooks on songs like the
title track, the funky-sweet ‘Wide Open Spaces’ and the acoustic ballad
‘Throw Me a Bone’.” -Marin Independent Journal
“Blame Sally is an all-female group that’s developed a reputation for lush
melodies, stirring lyrics, and spellbinding four-part vocal harmonies. These
four women’s talents are in full bloom on Speeding Ticket and a Valentine, and
each member has a great voice and various instrumental talents. Blame Sally
is a remarkable success story.” -San Luis Obispo New Times
