No Depression Journal of Roots Music – Featured Album

Review by John Apice – August 13, 2018

https://www.nodepression.com/album-reviews/singer-songwriter-fiddler-brings-exhilarating-americana-successfully-to-europe/ 

“There is not an inferior tune on this entire 43-minute album…The musicians at times sound like they are just seated around her in a kitchen as she prepares the meal and sings. That’s warmth in a composition… There is never a moment during her performance that her voice isn’t enchanting...’The Sleeping Lady’s Daughter,’ – quite in the tradition of the old Incredible String Band of the early 70’s, this could easily attract the likes of a Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris or even Dolly Parton…’Mirabelle’ is stunning lyrically and musically. This is what I seek out when I listen to so much music — that one song that just takes me by the throat and shakes me. This is it. This is the sweet milk shake; this is the moonshine one seeks…”

Folk Radio UK – Featured Album Review
By Neil McFadyen – Feb 27, 2018
http://www.folkradio.co.uk/2018/02/lucia-comnes-held-in-the-arms/

“Lucia’s ability to paint vivid pictures with her lyrics is one of the many captivating aspects of this album… Her sense of nurture comes not only from family and friends but from the land itself… In a decade of recording, Lucia has drawn on an impressive array of resources to explore the art of song around the world… Although there are songs here that have emerged from shadow, it’s still a journey into the light – and that light is a warm, welcoming glow. She opens Held In The Arms with a hearty welcome, closes it with a warm embrace and all the way through delivers assured, beautifully crafted, American folk.“

Folking.com – Featured Album Review

“Held In The Arms is an Americana package of folk, blues and country, this time with songs centred around the theme of ‘things that nurture’ – friends, family, nature and women – as emblemised by the embracing arms design of the cover… a touch of Grappelli fiddle… Leonard Cohen colours… Appalachian roots… blended shades of Southern country soul and mountain folk…. In her bio it says her songs seek to reconnect people with nature and their own roots; let them give you a big hug.”

Innocent Words Magazine – Featured Album Review
By Jeremy Wood – September 1, 2015
http://innocentwords.com/lucia-comnes-love-hope-tyranny/

“Firstly, it’s rare to find an artist who writes so freely about famine, empty governments and nuclear disasters along with the staples of heartbreak, regret and secret loves. But, with an almost lighthearted accompaniment (featuring some guitar and violin playing that’s OFF THE CHAIN!), Comnes carries these subjects with the bravery of her age…”

“To hear an artist get historical AND political AND devastated by love all on one disc against a nearly flawless background of well-written music is nothing short of impressive…”

“Whereas the music is an optimistic river, her voice is an unstoppable vehicle capturing the often blue meanings of her words. Sweet and salty, all in one bite. It is such a form-fitting pairing that one wonders if her voice is accenting the lyrics or if her lyrics are accenting her voice. As a singer/songwriter in so many genres, her control is as natural as the skills that created it…”

“This album is a giant quilt of mismatched patches sewn beautifully together…”
