"Powderly brings poetic justice and a feminist reinterpretation to the century-old murder ballad." - Lauren LaRocca
The Frederick News-Post (Frederick, MD)

“Powderly’s impassioned delivery of these lyrics, combined with [her partner’s] harmonies and a keen ear for Smoky Mountains folk and bluegrass tunes, echo Gillian Welch and David Rawlings’ collaboration on Time (The Revelator).” - Jessica Stein
Isthmus (Madison, WI)
-
“Besides this Gypsy aesthetic, Powderly is a singer with a plaintive voice rising above her at-times-rollicking finger-style guitar. There's a hint of the Grievous Angel in this mid-west mama's music.” - Frank Di Blase
