    The other peak performance is Longest Day Of The Year Blues, a deceptively languid doo wop ballad where the delicate tools that are Slade, Young and drummer Olly Joyce continue to punch well above their weight. [Feb 2014, p.94]

    Peggy Sue’s fourth LP impresses throughout, a record of soulful depths and heady, emotional highs.

    Guitars intertwine and gather around them, in ever-thickening skeins of picking and strumming, pulling a listener into all the mesmerizing turbulence of those troubled romances.

    All in all--strong lyrics, powerful vocal harmonies and unpredictable melodies make Choir of Echoes a fascinating, enjoyable listen.

    The band has honourable aims with its vocal intent and concept, but fails to inspire with its content, nor deliver on its promises.
