Lovely’s performance...was one of the most unexpected pleasures of recent memory. Oregon-based, she arrived with little advance notice, backed by a four piece band that interacted with almost symbiotic musical togetherness, enthusiastically riding the surging crests of her passionate interpretations of the blues. Lovely’s style begins from sources within such classic blues singers as Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith. And, like Janis Joplin before her, she has translated those influences into an utterly gripping contemporary style of her own. Her set, which ran non-stop, was superbly supported by a band that could do no wrong. ---Don Heckman, INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF MUSIC

Known for her passionate, driven performances, this powerhouse vocalist delivers a blistering mix of contemporary & old school blues. Her sophomore release,STILL THE RAIN, was nominated for 3 Blues Music Awards including "Best Contemporary Blues Album", "Best Song" and "Best Contemporary Blues Female Artist" and topped the national blues and roots charts. --- karenlovely.com

The stunning debut recording, Lucky Girl, by Oregon blues vocalist Karen Lovely is about to take the music loving world by storm. Playing through Lucky Girl is like listening to a history of blues, rhythm & blues and soul all wrapped into one knockout musical package. She covers the spectrum of excellence, from the opening bars of B.B. King's Tell Me Baby to the “gotta smile” handling of John Lee Hooker's Boom Boom into the soulful rendering of the Dennis Walker/ Alan Mirikitani collaboration, Too Little, Too Late. Along with these luminaries, Ms. Lovely also pays tribute to other icons of the genre including Big Mama Thornton, Willie Dixon and Betty James. ---cdbaby.com

Oregon's Karen Lovely certainly established herself as a blueswoman of note with her rousing Pretty Pear CD Lucky Girl while coming within a hare's breath of winning the 2010 International Blues Challenge in Memphis.

Now she broadens her credentials with a masterful follow up, Still The Rain, that should appeal not only to her legion of fans who hear her on SiriusXM satellite radio and many alternative FM and Internet outlets throughout the country, but to a whole new audience with some different material.

Oh sure, Still The Rain has some rousing uptempo blues tunes like Blues Ain't Far Behind, Cold Man Cold, and Ask Your Heart, that feature Lovely's big, lusty voice, plus a vampy jump blues Older Fool with some muscular tenor sax by Michael Vannice of the Dawwg House Rhythm Section.

But it's the ballad cuts that really make this CD so special and appealing, where Karen Lovely throws the glove down and shows us her tender and emotional side. The title tune, Still The Rain, is absolutely dark, emotional, and foreboding, while Karen will make you shiver as her voice drips with sadness on Other Plans accompanied by Vannice's haunting tenor. Veteran Producer Dennis Walker has definitely brought out the best in Karen Lovely on Still The Rain. --- Sunshine Dennis, cdbaby.com
