    If Lovers Know initially feels like it’s dipping into the golden age of the American songbook, then this must be the most fruitful panning for gold to be released in eons.

    It's both quiet and grand, sad and sweet, and undeniably human.

    It’s a rich, rewarding record, which should see Laura Burhenn and The Mynabirds progress to the next level of established American songwriters.

    The Mynabirds should probably have cut a couple of the less memorable and longer songs (“Omaha” and “Hanged Man”) to keep the disc focused. Even so, Lovers Know makes a strong statement, full of well-rendered wisdom and heart.

    Burhenn isn’t breaking any new ground with her lyrics, but the heartfelt delivery conveys a sort of factual, universal truth that is rare in such personal songs.

    Lovers Know is an unexpected turn that is saved by the passion of the performer behind it. [No. 123, p.61]

    Back to the future, but intoxicatingly so. [Sep 2015, p.78]
