The Great Unknowns -- What people are saying about the Great Unknowns




		*No Depression* "I can't stop playing this disc. Warren's songwriting is evocative and richly detailed throughout and guitarist Michael Palmer. . .seems to have brought on an exceptional crispness and hookiness to the Great Unknown's rootsy rock." [Full review] *Also picked as a top 10 record of 2004* - Rick Cornell *Maxim* "Why stop to listen to The Great Unknowns? Well, they play unpretentious heartland rock reminiscent of the better efforts of the Crows -- both Sheryl and Counting. Becky Warren writes about guys who've treated her like shit with a dignity they don't deserve and sings with a soulful, rebellious swagger..." [Full review] - David Peisner *Performing Songwriter* "The emphasis is on solid songs presented in a straightforward, unpretentious fashion." [Full review] - Jan/Feb 2005 Amy Ray (The Indigo Girls) “Excellent songwriting in the Americana tradition. . . one of the best things I have heard this year.” [Full review] Dirty Linen "It’s 'Great' that’s the operative word here. Becky Warren has one of those born-for-alt-country voices: big and meaty, with a vulnerable little vibrato here and there." [Full review] - Pamela Murray Winters Singer Magazine “Do yourself a favor: pick up this CD, and get all your friends a copy, too!"

[Full review] - David McPherson *Ivany's Top Twenty-One* "Their music incorporates the best of country and rock, not to mention, the great accordion inclusions. The Great Unknowns have produced a rollicking series of pain, train and American stories." [Full review] - John Shelton Ivany *Country Roots Music* "The first thing to do about a minute into 'Presenting The Great Unknowns' is to pick oneself off the floor; having been knocked there by the splendor of Becky Warren's singing voice.... There is an honesty and originality in the sound that is irresistible" [Full review] - Bill Grohl *Metro Pulse (Knoxville, TN)* "Warren’s songs are honest and simple, with a thrilling soulful rawness reminiscent of Lucinda Williams." [Full review] - Paige M. Travis *City Beat (Cincinnati, OH)* "A nice collection of songs for a laidback weekend morning." [Full review] - P.F.

[Full review] - Mike Wood *SlackerCountry.com* "Man, it's good. Especially if you like the kind of music you hear from Lucinda Williams or Mary Gauthier. Or Lone Justice. Which I do." [Full review] - Naomi *The Boston Globe* "The Great Unknowns may not be unknown for much longer." - Steve Morse, Dec. 3, 2004 *Flagpole Magazine (Athens, GA)* "Presenting… the Great Unknowns is a terrific slice of country and Americana out on Daemon. The band’s fronted by Becky Warren, whose voice is a tool of incision into your inner hope, passion and sorrow."
