“Guaranteed to get any party started... Imagine a late-night lock-in jam with Aerosmith, The Stones and ZZ Top, fronted by the equivalent of Ronnie Van Zant, or maybe even Shania Twain with balls.... It's sassy, sexy & rocks like a bitch. ”

“Sometimes Ya Gotta… is that rarest of modern-day
beasts: a joyous, vibrant, ass-kicking rock ‘n’ roll record, with the songs to match the attitude. Play it loud, and play it often.

“Sometimes Ya Gotta... Good-time honky tonk from Nashville chanteuse Stacie Collins

Uncut Magazine 4 out of 5 Stars
“Stacie Collins kicks Nashville's country ass. This is what country music oughta sound like. Raw, raucous and loud, Collins beats the shit out everybody else in the business, male or female. She makes Gretchen Wilson sound like a Sunday school teacher. Looking like a country-fried version of Joan Jett, Collins rides hard on some of the filthiest honky-tonk you've ever heard. It's jet-fueled Bakersfield infused with Collins' back alley Chicago blues harp. …Addictive hard-rockin,' hard-livin' honky-tonk you'll want to OD on.

Grant Britt , Creative Loafing
“No frills US roots rock done to a Southern T.
Once in a while it's good to get back to the basics, a case in point being Nashville-based Stacie Collins. She's that rarity, a female harmonica player, and her third album is no-nonsense bar-room rock and occasional Stones-y swagger, just like the past 30-odd years never happened. With freshingly few pretensions to be anything else.. All 12 songs have hooks like claws, and the guitars do what they're supposed to do. Simple yet highly effective.

“I have often heard girl singers described as “a firecracker.” If that is the case, Stacie Collins is a stick of Dynamite. She has a voice as big as the outdoors, with the power of Niagara Falls and she plays harmonica like a freight train. Did I mention that she also has the energy of a freight train? I will say right now, if this girl is not picked up by a major, then they should all close down and seek jobs in other fields!

"I don’t know how to define the music of Stacie Collins other than say its very good. …similar to Pat Benatar or Joan Jett, she has an attitude & a confidence all her own, & it works & works well.

“Sometimes Ya Gotta” produced by Dan Baird - 12 tracks of barnstorming rock and roll, with really good song-writing matched by great production and even better performances…Stacie’s best vocals on record yet, hooks to hang your hat on, the best-Stones-intro-the-Stones-never-played on “Don’t Doubt Me Now”..”
