    It’s apparent that this fine fusion succeeds, perhaps beyond the parties’ initial expectations.

    In its entirety, the collaborative effort is compelling; Plastic Bouquet is the furthest thing from a plastic collection.

    They sound like they’ve been singing together all their lives—as if Anderson and Linthicum somehow stumbled upon a third cousin in a faraway land. Here’s hoping the distance doesn’t stop them from doing this again and again and again.

    Each of these three artists brings out something new in the others, prodding them slightly out of their comfort zones. [Jan 2021, p.16]

    Plastic Bouquet is a uniquely satisfying mix of both William’s country leanings and Kacy and Clayton’s more folk-based sound. Whether this merging of talents was a one-off experiment or a Fleetwood Mac in the making (minus the drama), we’re still left with a powerful record.

    For Plastic Bouquet they’ve come together to make an album that is as relevant to modern ears as it is those more attuned to the old ways.

    Plastic Bouquet marries their remarkably timeworn voices, entwining threads from country-folk, 1960s British pop, and even rockabilly to stitch a retro flare into their modern lore.

    "A well done representation of the rockabilly, but that's not all this album is"

    A choose that could gone wrong, but it wasn't, given for the awesome performance less focused in being a representation, to be a original inspiration. A mix of Rock filled with the Blues and Country rythm with a little of Indie Folk spicy to create a recipe of a enjoyable and nostalgic vibes album.
