Austin Chronicle Review of Ann Hudspeth's Curve of Step
“Pipes is one thing Hudspeth definitely has going for her – a voice with power, personality and nifty agility, all of which she uses effectively to express some rather raw passion, longing and sensuality. Her songwriting is invested with a certain passion and creativity... her best lyrics approach eloquence and her arrangement sense and melodic gifts are rather sure-footed and even catchy.”
Riffage.com Review of Ann Hudspeth's Curve of Step
“She infuses the passion of Alanis Morissette with the soothing, ethereal qualities of the Cowboy Junkies, creating a uniquely beautiful sound. Ann writes from her heart, plays the guitar from her soul, and we are impressed.”
Listen.com Review of Ann Hudspeth's Curve of Step
“She lovingly self-harmonizes dreamy melodies around soft acoustic strumming... she truly shines like a star.”

LA Times Review of UkeTrance's "UKEN FEELIT"
"Anti-guitar and fiercely pro-ukulele, Uketrance are a duo from Seattle who write fun, goofy songs extolling vapor as a savior of the planet and praising Grandmas food over all else. With amplified soprano and baritone ukes, the occasional kiddie xylophone and recorder and some snappy percussion, Uketrance create stunning, retarded songs like "Ants," which is from an ants perspective and includes the chorus, "Stop poking your stick at me!"; and "GI Joe," a song with sweet harmonies about torturing and drowning and blowing up GI Joes. Some of the songs are more cutesy than funny, but that seems to go along with the whole grand tradition of ukuleles in popular music."
The Seattle Weekly Review of UkeTrance's "UKEN FEELIT"
"Billed as Seattle's hardest working ukulele band, the trio claims the goddess Uku channels its sound. Beyond Hawaiian serenading and a flapper routine, this tribe of musicians has embraced the ukulele in a modern Ramones-esque style. A plinking and plucking uke lovefest, the 16 track CD, U KenFeelit (Ruch Workshop Music), surprises and delights with tunes about ants, chickens, and aliens. An homage to the four-string instrument, the package comes chockfull of silliness, including a ukulele chord chart and declarations to release the instrument from pawn shops and attics everywhere."
