Blueflint 'Maudy Tree.'
 
R2 Music Magazine 4 Stars ****   "The musicianship is consistently excellent. Deborah Arnott and Clare Neilson..they sing beautifully together and also demonstrate an impressive range as songwriters."

Folk and Roots
"... a triumphantly individual group-collective take on the twin traditions of old-timey folk and knowingly contemporary Scottish country music....a real discovery...one of my albums of the year."
 
Scotland on Sunday  4 Stars ****
"Relaxed, assured and very attractive vocal harmony from Deborah Arnott and Clare Neilson...leads their crew further into mainstream acceptability and success. Their clever songs catch a non-American, home grown spirit rattling with subtle warnings and over the borders honesty...they paint strong moods in songs that are full of good life, humour and surprise."
 
The Herald
"The banjo'n'harmonies partnership of Deborah Arnott and Clare Neilson in Blueflint has produced a grand new bluegrass-flavoured songwriting voice on the Scottish musical scene. This second album has ample evidence that their talent should be a lasting one, with both women contributing fine new songs to their catalogue...making the disc a sonic step forward."
 
fRoots
"Lyrically clever, musically immediate...Rich imagery and cleverly captured vignettes draw the listener in...Total winner."
 
The Skinny 4 Stars ****
"This impressive second album consolidates the virtues of a compelling band and keeps us locked in for future melodic adventures."
 
Daily Record 
"Wonderous."
 
Edinburgh Evening News 
"A delightful blend of bluegrass, country and Americana that is heavy on emotion and more so on musicianship, the Edinburgh quartet look ready to consolidate their early promise with second album Maudy Tree."
 
Americana UK 7/10
"Edinburgh-based Blueflint's clever use of dark folk."
 
Seventeen Seconds/ This Is Music
"Two years since their excellent debut album, High Bright Morning, and the Edinburgh bluegrass act have returned with their sophomore album. It's definitely been worth the wait. If you still haven't bought their debut, shame on you. Make sure you get this one as well."
 
NetRhythms
"The girls' voices are pure and strong (beautifully showcased on I Climbed A Mountain where they're backed by just fiddle), they all play exceptionally well and they clearly have fresh and inspired musical imaginations. Sounds like recommendation enough to me."

Fatea Records
"Blueflint are dark with lots of sharp edges, at times abrasive, at times capable of cutting deep and opening scars."
 
Total Music Magazine
"Banjo driven Gaelic tinged Americana...moving easily between folky hoedowns and darker ballads."
