PRESS
“one of the great pop-rock voices of our time, a set of pipes both instantly
appealing and flecked with warm, individual character…a classic artist
hiding in plain sight” Jambase
“Steve Dawson is the singer and writer for Chicago-based Dolly Varden,
who not only produced some of the finest music of the last decade, but managed
the rare feat of getting better with each of their albums. Dawson’s sublime
vocals are absolutely gorgeous…he aches, he howls and whispers with a
grace and passion that cannot be denied” Americana UK
“sublime vocals that break with anguish, murmur in isolation and can
suddenly break out and summon rigorous heights…”
Mark Guarino, Chicago Daily Herald
“The warmth and soul that oozes from the digital bits encoded on this cd
keep me returning to it over and over again”. Songs: Illinois
