CMT on Emily Herring's 'Your Mistake'
Your Mistake features sharp songwriting and buoyant melodies throughout. Detailed narratives guide the journey. “I make my home down in San Marcos, where I count my tips at the Triple Crown,” she sings on “Austin (Ain’t Got No) City Limits” against bouncy Western swing. “You best find a quiet seat if you’re down at Cheatham Street watching them pass that mic around.” Amen. Now, pass the tip jar.
What 'No Depression' has to say about Emily
"I fell for her ice-cold honky-tonk songwriting almost immediately. She sings with such confidence, and nails hard-lived country songwriting like nobody's business. And she gets the culture of Texas dancehalls too."- Devon Leger, No Depression
Campus Circle Newspaper
"Herring is one to watch on the Americana scene; here she puts her twangin' guitar and her honky-tonk singing style to good use on a set of swinging Texas-style alt-country"- Kevin Weirzbicki

The San Marcos Mercury
"There’s nobody quite like Emily Herring. She’s part Western Swing, part Lucinda Williams, and part Patsy Cline but one thing’s for sure, she’s all Texas."- Hap Mansfield

The Toledo Blade
"This is for folks who like their music served with a shot of whiskey, a chicken picked Telecaster solo, and a singer whose not afraid to challenge conventions".- Rod Lockwood

"Herring has a bold, brassy voice a bit reminiscent of early k.d. lang or Kelly Willis, while her spirited guitar playing brings to mind Bonnie Raitt and Rosie Flores"- Kerry Doole

Fame Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
This is the sort of gift that Ian Hunter, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and others brought to waiting ears, but Herring opens up a whole new dimension I've never seen before, and, trust me, I'll be greatly looking forward to her next disc, as few country efforts have snagged my grey matter the way *Your Mistake* is doing right here, right now."- Mark S. Tucker

"This record captures the old hippie consciousness of Asleep At The Wheel at the same time that it exemplifies the vision of Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys."- Richard Wagamese
