    A storyteller in the grand tradition, with the instrumental skills and a crack band. These songs tell her story, of a hard-lived life, of love won then lost. [Aug 2017, p.

    With a lilting, mountain-spring-clear vocal, Lillie effortlessly brings to mind Dolly Parton, whose sass and strength she channels throughout her solo debut’s 11 tracks. This is old-school country music that digs deep into the past.

    The dynamic, White-produce LP is dominated by wistful yet hooky ballads. [Jul 2017, p.32]

    All of this impeccable accompaniment wouldn’t amount to much without terrific songs sung with emotion and drive, which is where Mae excels.

    Forever and Then Some is as moving as it is auspicious. Mae is a singer/songwriter whose embrace of roots musical traditions bodes well for her as she articulates her own vision of Americana.
