“Lloyd Maines and the Texas/Nashville gang serve up a great back porch/down home setting for this Texas/Nashville vet that been making her bones as a background pro for a while now. A lovely dose of pre-sippy cup folk/country, Mims shows what an important spark plug she’s been when given the chance to shine on her own. Tasty throughout, you probably need adult ears to fully appreciate this set but all you need is a taste for real Americana and you’re home. A delightful winner that hits it out of the park with each track. Check it out.”

— Chris Spector, The Midwest Record

“Whenever I hear Connie Mims’ music, I think of Henry David Thoreau. Not the Thoreau that resisted government and wrote ‘Civil Disobedience’, but the one who authored ‘Walden’, the book that reflects on relaxation and simple living in natural surroundings. Mims’ songs are simple, easy to listen to, and I find myself taking several deep breaths as I listen. There’s no unnecessary noise cluttering the music and the message. Connie’s songs take the sounds they need and leave everything else out.”

— Dave Wheaton, KEAN Radio, Abilene, TX

“Whichever way Love’s pendulum swings, Connie Mims marks it with an observation that’s down to earth, all grown up, and, best of all, very tuneful. The sometimes-Nashvillian Texan and her writing partners turn classic country-styled phrases both easy on the ears and more than a little catchy. Country icon Lloyd Maines provides pedal steel and dobro and fiddler Gene Elders further enhances the superb, rootsy instrumental backup. Check out “When I Called You Mine”, “Bad Weather” and “Weathervane”. ”

— Duane Verh, Roots Music Report

“After a successful career with seventies phenoms Wheatfield and St. Elmo’s Fire, now comes the long-awaited solo project from Connie Mims. A respected icon in the Houston music scene, and a talented performer, Connie Mims brings her seasoned skills to GO DEEP, a ten-cut collection of her recognizable progressive style. Blending influences from folk, rock, pop, and country, Mims pens the majority of the album and delivers in memorable fashion. Connie Mims has been known for her chameleonic voice, but she stays true to her own sound on this recording, letting fans quite easily fall in love with her artistic side. This is the album Connie Mims has always wanted to make. It is an intimate visit between performer and listener and may quickly become your favorite album. It will certainly stay in this reviewer’s player for many more rounds. ”

— Lucky Boyd, MyTexasMusic.com

““Connie mesmerizes an audience..so much so, in fact, she could sing all night and nobody would mind””

— Austin American Statesman

““Miss Mims’ voice was as rich and full-perhaps even more so- than in the band’s heyday (Wheatfield, which started in 1973, morphed into St. Elmo’s Fire and was over in 1979). Her covers of Joni Mitchell songs such as “Carey” and “Conversation” were her own, full-bodied and mature””

— Dallas Morning News

““When she lets loose, she is a singer to take note of, sounding like nobody’s copy””

— Dallas Times Herald

““She sings with mountain spring clarity-pure and sweet-yet with enough emotional intensity to raise the hair on the back of your neck””

— Dale Adamson, Houston Chronicle
