“‘I was taken aback at the maturity in both her vocals and songwriting…The production quality is superlative, the songs exceptionally well-written, especially the opening “Reminders” with the intuitive lyrics. “Dreaming In Crowds” is a gently flowing harmonic beauty with a kind of Carole King feel, without in any way sounding like the legendary singer-songwriter. Here’s a young lady who’s blossomed into a mighty fine singer-songwriter deserving of the widest possible recognition. I think it’s time that she took the plunge and recorded a full album with similar quality songs and production as this … it would be a world-beater.’”

— Alan Cackett, Maverick Magazine

“‘She’s got such fantastic warmth to her music..a wonderful artist’ Bob Harris”

— Bob Harris , BBC Radio 2

““she brings an honest songwriting style and beautiful vocal styling to every one of her songs.” Maverick Magazine”

— Laura Bethell, Maverick Magazine

““singer/songwriter Lisa Redford continues to treat her fans to more of her lyrical mastery with her latest EP “Reminders.” New York Examiner”

— Nick Gauthier, New York Examiner

"without a doubt one of the warmest, genuine and passionate musicians I have had the pleasure interviewing in 2 years I have been presenting my show, and your songs and the way you deliver them can touch even the hardest of souls."

— David Durant, Brooklands Radio

“'Influenced by the likes of Kathleen Edwards, David Gray, Ryan Adams and Tift Merritt, her music has been very much welcomed on the country/roots scene even though her own sound is at the pop end of the spectrum. Embracing the story-telling songwriter style, but with a sound that is both acoustic and lyrically catchy, has been to Lisa’s advantage though and whenever categorised she simply falls under the female singer-songwriter section, being both hard to define but also so varied that her music, like many, should not be placed in a box. Lisa has always been very committed to her music, building her reputation as a live performer is just one of these commitments, alongside bringing an honest songwriting style and beautiful vocal stylings to every one of her songs.' Feature and Review of Lisa Redford Live Album in Maverick Magazine **** ”

— Maverick Magazine

"Hailing from Norwich but living Stateside, Redford seems comfortable in the American-style songwriter niche, delivering her vocals with an easy, passion-filled competency that rises and pulls back in the right places. Comparable to Catherine Feeny, a Norwich adoptee, Redford at her best straddles the line between mainstream songwriter and left-field chanteuse. 'Lost Again' and 'Be Around are soaring ballads that are sure to get your toes tingling if you have a sweet tooth... Looking and sounding a bit like Jewel is probably not a bad thing if you're going to set up shop playing acoustic venues in New York, and Redford has been tipped as one to watch by country music afficionado and veteran broadcaster Bob Harris. Unlike many live shows packaged as LPs, this slice of Lisa Redford history allows listeners to experience the artist at her best, and fan's won't be disappointed by the immaculate recording, lush reverb and slightly off-kilter bright guitar." Review of Lisa Redford Live

— Mia Vigar, Norwich Magazine

"Live" serves to highlight why a growing number are getting into Lisa Redford, she's the complete package writer and performer. She's got an emotional intesity to her sound, a conduit for not only the words and music that she penned, but also for the feelings that drive her creativity and the world that inspires them. You can almost feel the audience hanging on every word that drifts towards them from the stage.

— Neil King, Fatea Magazine

“'Redford has grown in both confidence and stature as both songwriter and singer for her best album to date.' ”

— Fatea Magazine

“'This is melodic acoustic music of the finest quality; gentle, soulful and uplifting at the same time. She mixes delicate and melancholy with the upbeat with ease and should sit pretty either side of the pond' ”

— CRS Magazine

“'There is a warmth and welcoming vibe to Redford's music that really is difficult to resist. Bob Harris has Redford right up there at the top of the pile. It's easy to see why with "Clouds With Silver" potentially being the record that will catapult her to new heights.' ”

— Americana UK 8 Out of 10

“'She adds smouldering depth to fine self-penned material. Her grasp of texture, mood and fearlessness in giving it her all, I suspect, comes with the realisation that she actually possesses a voice able to do her musical vision justice.' **** ”

— Rock n Reel Magazine

“'Clouds with Silver is Redford's best album so far. Her pure, pretty voice has developed a deeper resonance and character and her attractive melodies and thoughtful lyrics have become more consistent and finer crafted.' ****”

— Michael Hingston, Country Music People Magazine

“'There's an immediate connection to the emotional territory of the songs, which imbues an easy familiarity and regular listeners to Bob Harris will already know Lisa's voice, with its subtle tremolo and classic country lilt. This is classy and assured. Lisa is one to watch for sure.' ”

— Properganda Magazine

“'Lisa Redford is a breath of fresh air. Hers is a pure and quite lovely voice which delivers some sweet Americana-tinged songs from the heart, all done to tasteful acoustic arrangements including some nice fingerstyle guitar.' Manchester Evening News ”

— Manchester Evening News

“'a sensational breeze of fresh air..a fantastic insight into a world of love, loss and changes, Clouds with Silver gives you that accomplished feeling at the end of Time to Grow that you makes you realise you've just listened to a fantastic female singer-songwriter pour her heart out for you' **** ”

— Maverick Magazine

“'a very strong and confident piece of work that deserves to be heard.' ”

— Proper Music Distribution

“‘It was also wonderful to discover why everyone thinks so highly of Lisa Redford. She was lovely…bright, enthusiastic and talented.”

— Bob Harris, Maverick Magazine

"one of our finest singer/songwriters"

— Bob Harris, Radio 2

"In a sea of smart female singer/songwriters, Lisa is an admiral"

— Alan Cackett, Maverick Magazine

"Lost Again’ really delivers on the promise shown on her debut disc – memorable songs, strong vocals and sweet melodies combine to make an excellent album."

— Neil Pearson, Fish Records

"An excellent album...a real step up in sound for Lisa, the quality and profile of the guests are guaranteed to raise her profile both here and the US, and this is an album that will bring her to an even wider audience.

— Fish Records

"one of the most captivating records of its kind that I've received for review this year..the end result is heart-meltingly good...Play this rapturously good CD just once, and you'll definitely want to get lost again (and again, and again…) in its charms, I just know it!'

— David Kidman, Netrhythms

Gathering support and praise from eminent DJs such as BBC Radio 2's Janice Long and Dermot O'Leary, Al has also welcomed encouraging support from Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson and Bob Harris, all of whom have championed Al's music on their respective BBC Radio 1, 2 and 6 Music shows. Cerys Matthews is also among his fans, having personally invited Al to support her at her sell-out show at the PJ Hall in Bangor in 2011. They performed a duet for the song 'Road Rage' together on stage. Al's latest album 'Battles' was recorded and produced by Charlie Peacock (Producer of the Double Grammy award winning act - The Civil Wars) at his home studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The album sees Al reunited with long-time collaborator Sarah Howells (Paper Aeroplanes).
