Aug 23, 2011The great success of The Blackbird Diaries is that it serves as yet another reinforcement of Stewart being one of the most necessary-and perhaps overlooked-songwriters and performers to emerge in the last 30 years.

Aug 30, 2011Because of the lack of strong material and perhaps lack of preparation, The Blackbird Diaries ends up coming off like just one more project for Stewart, a gifted guy who needed something to do while visiting Nashville and making some talented new friends.

Aug 22, 2011The Blackbird Diaries isn't for everyone: it's mainstream but not sterile; it celebrates roots music without overly indulging it or neglecting pop; in short, it's catchy as hell and better than any Stewart solo project to date.
