Donnie Miller - Radio X 88.5 FM Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

"Diana Catherine combines the raucous feel of Lynyrd Skynyrd with the delivery and chops of Sheryl Crow to created a spirited style all her own. We added "Long Road" to our rotation because it is an upbeat, feel-good song with a hopeful message and killer guitar licks."
Bree Noble - Women of Substance Radio

““Diana Catherine and the Thrusty Tweeters have the right mix of country folk, rock and twang backing up the excellent song writing and passionate vocals by Diana. For a Canadian band they sure do have a lot of Southern Soul. It’s “Our Kind of Music”.”
Tim Little - Host of Routes and Branches, KRVM 91.9 FM Eugene, Oregon.

With great mix of blues, rock and Americana songs, Diana Catherine's soulful and passionate vocals, along with a stellar band, this CD an immediate favorite and a completely satisfying listen from start to finish. “”
Gumbo Charly - WSLR - Sarasota, FL

"Authentic Americana from a Canadian band. Diana Catherine and The Thrusty Tweeters are tight and full of southern flavor. I dare you to listen to "Long Road" and not think of John Mellencamp or Lynyrd Skynyrd"
Jason Lawrence - Sony Music Canada

“For instance, they're quite adept at modern pop courtesy of "Long Road" which not only shows Diana Catherine can out-sing Sheryl Crow, but writes a better song.”
Jaimie Vernon - GWNtertainment

“When Riveting Riffs Magazine looks back over the past ten months Diana Catherine and The Thrusty Tweeters record The Spirit Ranch Sessions would certainly have to be considered among the top three Americana albums that have come our way.”
Joe Montague - Riviting Riffs

“Diana Catherine & The Thrusty Tweeters inhabits a unique place, music for the collective hearts of outlaws everywhere.They deliver a country-blues throwdown eliciting images of Blue Rodeo, Neil Young, and old-time greats. These traveling gypsies revive that nostalgic spirit, that rock and roll soul.”

“This is a stylistic debut that is original and different. Lyrically, it is a ton of fun, Really, we have this kind of kickass country in Toronto? Don’t believe me? Give the Spirit Ranch Sessions a spin and it won’t be long before you grab your girlfriends and head to Dakota Tavern. ”

"The album is frickin' great! "Walk" is especially wonderful. Best leadoff track I've heard in a long time, maybe all year..."
Mark Rheaume - CBC Music Resources

“I would love to send each of you a copy. It's that good. It's an album that even manages to capture some of the stage presence that Diana oozes. You may not be able to see that swagger on the disc, but you can sure hear it in her voice and in her insane attack on the harmonica.”
Barbra Bruederlin - Bad Tempered Zombie

"What I like the most out of this album is the fact that songs represent what people are about. These are actual real life songs.."
Matt Hartwick - Partyinkingston.com
