“You will fall head over heels for Jillian Rae.”
-Scott Herold, Cause Rock, Cities 97
“A rollicking mix of folk, rock and bluegrass… With a soulful voice and spirited energy, [Rae] delves deep into romantic tumult on Heartbeat.”
-Vita.Mn
“A triple treat on vocals, fiddle, and composition, she also surprises by showcasing snarling guitars and rock ‘n’ roll rhythms, along with some country-western seasoning. The songs are so bright, and Rae’s singing so hopeful, that it takes a few moments to realize her songs are mostly about the vicissitudes of love. It is, as a whole, a joyous expression of strength and resilience.”
-Star Tribune
“An appealing and crisply produced collection firmly in the bourgeoning Americana vein.”
-89.3 The Current
“One of the most satisfying, realized debut releases of the year.”
-Hymie’s Vintage Records
“What she brings to the table from vocals to her violin is straight up fantastic.”
-Paul Whyte, Duluth Reader
