“The album is lengthy (18 tracks), but no song ever falls into the category of “typical love song” because Tebbs’ songwriting is so thought provoking and fresh...”
“Tebbs’ voice is warm and slightly lower, reminding me of the vibrato-rich voice of Lucinda Williams, and any instrumental accompaniment—mostly acoustic guitar and lap steel—on the album is deftly done, allowing that voice to shine.”
“When I go to see Mary Tebbs play, sing, perform, it's because I want to learn to fly.”
“Mary is super talented. Great writer, dynamic vocalist, entertaining performer, and just the nicest person in the whole world.”
“Tebbs hits the lyrical mark using her own personal perspective.”
“What makes the album most interesting is that it doesn’t really have a defined genre. Songs sway between country, folk, jazz and near-disco signatures, sometimes making it hard to tell if Tebbs was showing off her skills at composition, or if she’s still trying to find her sound.”
“Mary Tebbs = Melissa Etheridge + Carole King + Lucinda Williams”
“And people connect to her music. "'Make it Light' is a difference maker," she said. "I've heard it from enough people to know I have a good song."”
“...singer/songwriter, Mary Tebbs isn't looking for fame, but she will gladly accept it if it means she can help inspire people to greatness.”
“And it was especially gratifying to look at Mary in a new light and hear what a great vocalist, songwriter, and musician she is.”
“Mary is cheerfully engaging and a truly delightful part of Utah's music scene. She definitely has her own style and I am more than pleased that I finally experienced a Mary Tebbs performance.”
“Mary Tebbs has a voice to die for: powerful, passionate and just as capable of belting out a hard rock song as sliding through a silky jazz ballad.””
“Indeed, songs like the autobiographical “Make It Light” and the closing gospel-tinged “I’m Gonna Shine” pulse with positivity, but it doesn’t sound forced in the least. Touching on folk and country along the way, Fuzzy Halo is a welcome return for Tebbs after a decade on the sidelines.”
“Fuzzy Halo" is an intriguing concept CD that features Mary's penetrating lyrics as well as music that is joyful and happy to be played — and to be alive.”
“Mary Tebbs is my favorite celebrity!”
“If you don't know Mary Tebbs, you don't know Utah music!”
“...music smoothed at the edges with a plush soul sound, blanketed with blues vocals so sweet and sassy your ears can taste every note and inflection.”
“Tebbs is full of weathered innocence, dealing with love, sensuality and heartache, building it all on a solid foundation of blues and slow mountain funk.”
“Tebbs has become a prolific singer-songwriter, while dedicating herself to living consciously.”
