NEW reviews for "Memoirs of An Outlaw":
"'The Memoirs Of An Outlaw a wonderful listen and Abigail Hopkins a captivating and intruiguing musician" ROCK N' REEL 4stars****
".pastoral delicacy.quirky theatricality" UNCUT
"It's a collage of 60s 70s folk that could have quite easily been dreamt up on a floaty LSD trip or from licking the back of a toad in the middle of the desert" SHOUT4MUSIC.COM
"'Memoirs Of An Outlaw' is excellent from end to end, a dramatic, sweeping series of flourishes, rich, but sharp, pointed, but widescreen.the production is wonderful as well." UNPEELED.NET
***BLUESBUNNY ALBUM OF THE MONTH!***"Springsteen had his "Nebraska", and there's certainly that sort of feel on this album, if a little more tribal. Minimalist yet profoundly moving, there is a truly disturbing feel to the album. Perhaps Ms Hopkins actively practices voodoo? At all times sepulchral, the album is intricate both its lyrics and the instrumentation. Hopkins's delivery is banshee-esque, and backed by the sweeping foggy folk-jazz melding of her band, it's a devastating combination. Incorporeal forces may prevent you from skipping any track on this album. Don't even think about turning it off. This is a truly extraordinary album and perhaps the one that sees Abigail Hopkins truly establish herself as a serious musician." BLUESBUNNY Bluesbunny Rating: 5 Carrots
"This is a sparkling album with superb tracks, every one of which is a little treasure" GREAT YARMOUTH ADVERTISER
"Gothic, dark and dramatic.a gallery of shadows with a timeless beauty" THE COUNTY TIMES
"If you are looking for music that takes it to the edge, lyrics that you are not going to hear on mainstream radio and vocals that will leave you on the edge of your seat for all the right reasons then make 'The Memoirs Of An Outlaw' the next CD you buy. It's scary, it's beautiful…it's real" PENNY BLACK MAGAZINE
"Any songwriter that manages to reference a Ford Cortina 1968, must surely know the importance image plays in lyrics and it would appear Hopkins has in abundance. Dark and sinister, captivating like a cobra, this is the album that sees Abigail Hopkins deliver her promisary notes." FATEA
"Magdalene has a dark oppressive sound that reminds you of Marianne Faithfull's music.a powerful talent" THE COUNTY TIMES
"'The Memoirs of an Outlaw' by Abigail Hopkins is scarily good; outrageously different yet cultishly commercial. Another special piece of work from an amazingly original singer/songwriter. Quite brilliant!!" TOXIC PETE
**************************
"Abigail Hopkins returns with a second album of moody, bluesy jazz. Its a smoky and atmospheric listen, made richer by her lovely voice" THE DAILY EXPRESS
"Intriguingly alternative jazz discovery" BILLBOARD (USA)
"Intense collection of musical atmospheres.wrap their warmth around you and send a shiver down your spine.enviable talent" BULLIT
"'Smile Road' is a striking mix of smoky jazz, strings and gentle beats" THE TIMES
"Abigail Hopkins delivers up a mix of edgy alt-jazz - sometimes unearthly, sometimes sassy- with a confidence worthy of her classically trained voice. Think Clannad go gutsy, or a happier Tori Amos edged with a witchy dissonance and clear, sure harmonies" SUBBA CULTURE
"'Blue Satin Alley' is an atmospheric masterpiece of mist rising from the sea and rain tapping down in autumn" BENT MAGAZINE
".a dramatic intensity that fascinates" COUNTY TIMES
"On 'Blue Satin Alley', Abigail Hopkins has poured her passion, power and imagination and it bears repeating intelligence and pushes the boundaries to breaking point. If you though Bjork lived in the left-field of music, as the man said: 'You ain't heard nothing yet'" BERWICK NEWS
"Blue Satin Alley is a smooth, intricate collection of acoustic folk/pop compositions. Beautiful stuff. (Rating: 5+)" BABYSUE
".a massive head-on collision between Kate Bush, Tom Waits and Tim Buckley with the tangled, mis-shaped parts having been carefully and sympathetically re-assembled by the creative genius of Syd Barrett" TOXIC PETE
"'Blue Satin Alley' is an album of depth and heft. Not an album for a sunny day at the beach, but it might just be the right one for those dark midnights when you need to ponder weak and weary" BUDDY HOLLYWOOD
