“Even in these four tracks the diversity of Swann's songwriting and stylistic influences is evident, Swann cites amongst her influences Carole King, Patsy Cline and Lucinda Williams, whilst these and indeed others are clear enough but despite starting her career in a covers duo Swann is certainly no clone. Almost immediately with the opening track 'Good Advice' you are drawn into the words weaving gently but firmly with the accompanying fiddle and guitar. Throughout the EP there is a subtlety combined with genuine passion in these four songs which leaves you looking forward to the full product. ”

“The first word that leapt into my mind on hearing, "Burning Bright" was evocative, followed soon after by atmospheric. Nicky Swann has got a powerful voice that's exactly what you need to delivering country tinged folk music, particularly when there's an almost spiritual dimension to the song. "Burning Bright" is only four tracks long, it's not enough, but there is going to be an album soon to satisfy the craving that's still there when the EP comes to an end. The final track "Time Stands Still" recorded live at a sound check sounds like Nicky was fighting back the tears, it really hits the heart. ”

"... she has a beautiful voice and very good phrasing, real shivers stuff. She has a subtlety that reminds me of Emmylou Harris without ever being too derivative."
