Here's what the critics said about Joan Burton's debut album:
"Burton has made the most immediate and simply likable music of any artist in Rochester. Her playing, singing, and songwriting have developed into sharp personal talents. Her dues are paid."....HB Ward, CITY
"...solid rock music (with an acoustic edge) that combines feminine energy with a gutsy attitude, without being girly or militant. ... Joan Burton is more than a pretty face."....Natalie Hewitt, CITY Newspaper
"... Joan Burton has a wonderful voice... She gets your attention immediately"....Jeff Spevak, DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE
"... Charismatic local musician Joan Burton opened the Peter Frampton show, firing off a tight, self assured set that mixed mainstream rock & roll with a saucy blues base and a smattering of world beat. By the time she closed her set , the crowd of 2,500 was hers."....Karen Krenis, TIMES UNION.
"Burton is also a proven musician, not just a singer, as she handles guitars, piano, and keyboards on her debut disc. ....There are several songs of highly interesting subjects."....Jim Hudnut, VIEW MAGAZINE
"Ms. Burton's powerful voice, slightly reminiscent of Ann Wilson of Heart, is the driving force behind her unique brand of acoustic driven pop rock... A very impressive, professional debut"....Paul Tauterouff, NEW YORK ROXX
