FEATURED REVIEW: Root Music Report’s 5-star review of the new album, Three


“Harmonies both country-sweet and razor-sharp meet with a steady stream of first-rate songwriting on this exquisite set. From the haunting leadoff track, ‘Catch Me If You Can’, this trio of veteran singer-songwriters (Cindy Bullens, Deborah Holland, Wendy Waldman) dress a wide variety of moods and observations in ear-grabbing lyric sets with matching vocals.


Love is frequently on their collective mind, contemplated from a range of emotional angles. Selecting standouts is no easy task because there is not one weak track in the lot here but the ballad ‘5th Of July’ is hard to get past with just one listen.


The trio’s acoustic instrumental work, enhanced by guest fiddler Sam Bush, matches the quality of the songs and singing. The first candidate for 2012’s ‘Best’ has arrived.

PRESS QUOTES:


"The Refugees offer up a terrific combination of engaging, passionate, and poetic songwriting, high-caliber musicianship, and gorgeous vocals. The combined musical pedigree of Cindy Bullens, Deborah Holland, and Wendy Waldman is unparalleled. Don't even think about missing an opportunity to catch them in concert."


-- Anil Prasad from Innerviews, Guitar Player and Bass Player


"Heavenly harmonies – Celestial singing. Sounds of stars in the making, with your songs as safe haven. Terrific."


-- Michael Nesmith. Owner of Videoranch, formerly of The Monkees


"Like the name implies, The Refugees have seen a lot and survived... Listen to the disc and you'll know how- through raw talent!"


-- Rob Reinhart, Producer of Acoustic Café


"The Refugees have a spirt and light that captures your attention right from the downbeat until they've left the building. These are not just 3 very talented women, they are great entertainers"


--Sleepy John Sandidge, KPIG Radio


"The Refugees have something special. They can perform those harmonies that Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young could not nail at Woodstock. They can pick their guitars. Hell, Deborah even played an accordion, Cindy a mandolin. And the material resonates"


-- Bob Lefsetz, the Lefsetz Letter
