Down Beat (11/92, p.49) - 3.5 Stars - Good Plus - "..she excels on countryish romps and instrumentals...Foley plays with almost terrifying ferocity, bending strings as if she's tearing pieces out of her own heart.." Musician (11/92, p.109) - "..proves you can be steeped in blues traditions and still draw blood today...it's her killer guitar work that will keep you coming back again and again...Brash and dynamic, Foley showboats without overstating.." Living Blues (Sept.-Oct./92, p.66) - "..this lass plays a mean axe and sings with an unforced honesty rare in someone so young...Foley exhibits an intriguing array of unexpected musical influences.."

Sue Foley's debut album, Young Girl Blues, is an impressive effort. Not only is Foley a wild, adventurous guitarist, she can write songs that don't merely rehash standard blue cliches. Her songs have an intense passion that is heightened by her array of gutsy guitar textures, which are rooted in blues tradition but never tied down to it. ~ Thom Owens
