With a great voice, impressive songwriting abilities and superior chops on the guitar, don't be surprised if you hear more about Skyla Burrell and her band down the road."

"Tomlinson's songwriting skills and Skyla's vocals are what make this CD standout. Pennsylvania blues fans should be very proud of SBBB."
