Album Of The Week

"Lolly Lee's 'Everything Spins' ' är en mycket trevlig ny bekantskap där det mesta av innehållet faller på plats omedelbart och träffsäkert. Dessutom en återhållsam och lite annorlunda avslutning i 'When I'm Gone', som lika gärna skulle kunna ha varit något som självaste Neil Young hade varit ansvarig för."

- Torbjörn Berlin / Berlin Calling -

"Musiken är bred, stark och så jädra bra att den lyfter upp mig. Lolly Lee spelar en musik som är gångbar överallt, och jag tror att det borde vara dags att ta Lolly Lee hit till Sverige."

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"Ralph Molina, trummis i Neil Young & Crazy Horse, ska ha sagt att 'Lolly Lee är en underskattad outsider, en äkta rock’n’roll artist, som dykt upp från ingenstans, från förorterna i Birmingham, Alabama'. Men 'Everything Spins' är bara delvis en rockplatta. Paletten är bredare än så!"

- Robert Ryttman / Zero Magazine -

"Lolly Lee is not just a singer, she’s a multi instrumentalist musical icon from Birmingham, Alabama. Her journey, filled with ups and downs, resonates with many, making her a beacon of inspiration for aspiring artists. At 63 years young, after countless shows, bands, kids, marriage, loss, rebirth, Lolly proves to be a survivor, not just of herself but of her dreams. Her soul. Her destiny. With every note she sings, Lolly Lee continues to etch her legacy in the annals of Birmingham’s rich musical history and beyond."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"The songs included here bring something of a healing balm against the wickedness of worldly ways. If nothing else, Lolly knows how to deliver a tune and her ability to rock out is not open to question. Worthy of your attention."

- Paul McGee / Lonesome Highway -

"Lolly Lee has produced a mature and varied album, which, whilst at first listen seems pretty standard americana, benefits from repeat listens to unlock all the subtlety within, and has some real stand out tracks. A stylistically diverse album with more than a hint of rock, covering themes of motion memory, love and loss."

- Andrew Lefley / Americana UK -

"This is a mature and accomplished album from a lady who has both witnessed and experienced life in its many forms, and has that ability to both entertain and make the listener think."

- David Pratt / Fatea Magazine -

"This is straightforward, no frills, rock oriented americana. Here and there decorated with violin and mandolin. Her concise voice, matured by life, puts the stamp on the songs. It sounds truthful and a little wise. No wonder, after all, she has been part of Birmingham's music scene since the 1980's and has something to tell. A strong album."

- Thomas Waldherr / Folker -

"The various guest musicians have been used very well and enrich the respective songs, so that in contrast to the debut, a qualitative leap forward has been made and the music can really be described as very mature. Yes, a really great americana album!"

- Wolfgang Giese / Musik An Sich -

"Lolly Lee's 'Everything Spins' is an album that is both intimate and grandiose. It's not a garish record, but one that slowly gets under your skin. It is music that takes you along in a circling movement from past to future, from pain to acceptance, from standstill to progress. Lolly Lee proves that a 2nd album can not just be a sequel, but also a new beginning, a rediscovery of voice, strength and direction."

- Fred Pach / Muziekwereld -

"'Everything Spins' is a very nice rock album and a big step forward for Lolly Lee."

- Jaks Schuit / Real Roots Café -

"With a long history in music as the lead singer with The Mortals, US rock’n’roll lady Lolly Lee from the state of Alabama has now released her sophomore solo album 'Everything Spins'. On this album that succeeds her selftitled debut record from 2024 she is presenting 12 new self composed songs which rock, but also contain elements from folk, soul, country and americana. The exquisite contributions from Nashville based guest musicians Will Kimbrough on electric guitar, fiddler Chris Carmichael and gospel trio The McCrary Sisters are helping to lift the overall quality of this new album."

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"'Everything Spins' was created in the studio of Anthony Crawford, who worked with Neil Young and Dwight Yoakam, and together with his wife Savanna Lee forms the duo Sugarcane Jane. Crawford again takes care of the instrumentation and together with Lolly, while Savanna provides harmony vocals."

- Cis van Looy / Written In Music -

"Some of the compositions are played at a fast pace, with a more pronounced rock drive, while others are lighter, in which the specific emotion of Lolly as an author and singer is more expressed. It should also be noted that the range of various vocal and instrumental accompanying elements is very wide, which demonstrates her knowledge of the artform, as well as a considerable experience."

- Branimir Lokner / Time Machine Music -
