“One of the best CDs of 2007.. 5 Stars!” - Revolver Magazine ~ "Her songs, written on the piano, are continually convincing because of the introspective combination of regret, despair and stubbornness... majestic songs.." -Heaven Magazine, Dec. 2007 ~ ".. Detor grabs you with her dark, melancholy voice, and a kind of [lyrical] poetry that is on par with - and these comparisons have been chosen carefully - Kate Bush or Suzanne Vega... to mention all of the highlights [of Cover Their Eyes] is an impossible job..." **** (4 stars) - De Morgen Newspaper, Belgium ~ "Detor's piano songs contain more lyrical depth and musical originality than those of her competition.." - Financieel Dagblad, Holland ~ "With attention placed in every detail, Detor continues her incredible talent to weave fantastic stories with her distinct songwriting, penning twelve new songs that are thick and rich with mood and clarity.." - Womenfolk, UK ~ “MUDSHOW was brilliant and I was a little worried that her third album might be an anticlimax. I needn’t. Krista works her way through another wonderful selection of songs and it’s almost impossible to choose a favourite track –– her warm, treacly voice and effortless arrangements make listening to COVER THEIR EYES the aural equivalent of a long hot bath with candles all around...! I need two copies –– one for the car and one for home!” ~Tony Currie, Producer, Nightshift, BBC Radio Scotland ~~ “If God's very favorite angel got sick of His shit, smoked a pack of Reds, drank some Jack and Gate-crashed a piano bar, this is how she would sound. Krista's voice is two parts holy and one part hussy, perfectly complimented by expert piano work that will leave you wrung-out but ready for more. I can't say enough about this super-dope soul out of the Indiana outback, she's the TRUTH!” - Ace Ha , Producer for Geffen artist Prima J ~ "From behind her piano Detor makes you shiver with really heavenly vocals and timeless songs. This is so beautiful, it’s almost unreal..” (5 stars out of 5) -Ctrl.alt.Country Magazine, Belgium – Aug 2007 ~ “Timeless.. the sound is warm-blooded, melancholic. Krista’s voice is sultry, unctuous; such heart you’d hope to have in a cold winter. Previously came her joyous predecessor Mudshow (2005). [Cover their Eyes] is stronger, still. Need I say more?” - Rootstime, Belgium ~ “A different Americana Sound; lots of atmosphere and absolutely convincing…” (4 ½ stars out of 5) - Hanx.nl Webzine, Netherlands – Aug 2007 ~ Quote: De plaat wordt gaandeweg steeds mooier [Nederlands Dagblad aug. 2007] “The albums are getting more and more beautiful!” - Netherlands Nat’l Newspaper - Aug 2007 ~ “Perfectly played and sung… there is no doubt [Krista Detor] can sing and write..” - - Americana UK “Intensive,
daring.. marvelously poetic.. she has found her own strong and alive language..
such music exists simply to be heard..”
