Feb 24, 2015Creating a 21st-century album that is still able to deal in an original and touching way with the big and interesting subjects of love and death is a trick that many folk and country musicians try to pull off and few achieve, especially in the impressive way that Gretchen Peters does with her 2015 album Blackbirds.

UncutFeb 6, 2015This is a melancholic album, but a determined, thoughtful one. [Mar 2015, p.80]

Feb 10, 2015Blackbirds may be dark and unsettling, but it's far from depressing. It is a profound, poetic, career-defining album from a singer and songwriter of the highest order.

Q MagazineFeb 6, 2015This all Peters's show as she shines a light under some very dark roots. [Mar 2015, p.114]

Feb 6, 2015Blackbirds [is] just a hair less successful than Peters's last album, 2012's Hello Cruel World, a self-described "manifesto" that cultivated a level of consistency not quite matched here. But the strength of the new album is less that of its constituent parts than the sum of their focus, and that's by design.
