    Chaney is a major talent, whose record doesn’t just suggest that there’s greatness ahead. The record is great.

    There's a real grace about The Longest River, the debut album from self-taught multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney.

    A surprisingly stark yet passionate affair, with just enough unorthodoxy to suggest that a multilayered musician lurks at its roots. [May 2015, p.94]

    Ultimately, The Longest River is a brave album in which Chaney presents her music without filters, and reveals herself as a major talent who embraces the past and present with confidence and remarkable skill. In short, she really is that good.

    The Longest River sounds like it wasn't written to impress anyone, but impress it does. It's an intriguing debut.
