She’s an old soul in the way Hank Williams and Memphis Minnie were, culling together both country and blues that is easily digestible for anyone who gets scared off by real country music. Etta James once said that the blues and country music were kissing cousins. Rachel Brooke is their love child” -Chip McCabe
