TONK

“Right from the outset, this latest release from the Nashville residing Aussie sets out to be a blueprint of how traditional country music can be made relevant in the 21st Century and Audrey succeeds in this mission. ...the fourteen tracks of TONK span the repertoire of traditional country served with a voice ranging from tear jerking sweetness to an earthy bitterness. The style is uncompromising and organic with a touch of humour added both lyrically and in the outtake nature to some of the songs. ...this exceptional album shouldn’t just be directed at specific groups as its paradigm of country values will spread out to anybody with a fleeting interest in the genre." ~ Three Chords & The Truth Blog, UK

"This is an all round great album. It is rooted in traditional country music but is never backward looking. The playing and the singing are focused and sharp. The songwriting is well thought out. However it is, above all, great fun. A great listen. It certainly honks my tonk." ~ Lonesome Highway, Ireland

“Tonk” is a good natured album just like they used to make before the business decided to retrofit that pedal steel sound on to AOR. If this were 1967, I don’t doubt that Audrey Auld would be singing at the Grand Ole Opry."
~ BluesBunny Music Reviews, UK

"TONK is a great album with my favourite artwork of the year so far and Audrey Auld’s voice and songwriting skills are talents to behold in a very shallow musical world." Alan Harrison, No Depression
