Reagan Boggs is a fantastic songwriter, and powerful singer. 'The Graves' (track 9) is brilliant, edgy Americana and 'Mixed Signals' (track 10) sounds like the Ronstadt repertoire from 1973. This disc may be your most pleasant discovery of the year!" - Rob Reinhart - Acoustic Café
After landing her 2006 release, Never Looking Behind, onto Americana Highway’s top 30 albums of the year list, Reagan Boggs delivers Right Now.
The songwriter hails from a coal mining community in Southwest Virginia. With roots still firmly planted in those hills, she tells the story of “Clifton Branham,†Appalachian bad man via his own memoirs, and details a woman’s nightmare of strip-miners disrupting the resting dead after a pressured sale of her family’s land in “The Graves.†She pours out her heart through the eyes, ears, and fears of two young children living daily in an abusive home in “Ready to Run;†and again through the reflections of a middle-aged wife who struggles to find happiness in a comfortable, yet empty marriage in “Plastic Flowers.†Right Now is a collection of songs dealing with the light and darkness of everyday reality, composed in descriptive detail, and sung with the depth and emotion that is Reagan Boggs.
"Reagan Boggs has the kind of rich, sweet voice that you can't get enough of. She comes from a place that is steeped in country music tradition and now she's carrying it on. Like Patty Loveless or Alison Krauss, she's a country singer who sounds like one."- Larry Groce - Mountain Stage
"Reagan Boggs is one of those lucky artists who stands a chance of breaking into the pop/country market on her own terms and conditions. Smooth but still rocking, her album Never Looking Behind certainly stands apart in its slick but not overproduced sound (none of those Shania the robot bloops and bleeps), confident playing and well-conceived lyrics."- Chris Cooper - Smoky Mountain News
"She's awesome...what a voice...and the songs are poignant and emotional without being over the top." - WDVX Writer's Block Host Karen Reynolds
“With so much new talent out there it's tough to stand out from the pack. Reagan Boggs hooked me right away with her amazing, powerful and expressive voice. She also has a gift with catchy melodies. On top of that, she's a very good songwriter. All in all, Reagan Boggs is a very impressive and talented performer. More people should be aware of her.†- Larry Weir – KDHX St Louis
"Right Now is both Rootsy & Rockin' then gently Rolling all aboard Reagan Boggs' convincing vocals. Backed by a muscular band that blends sweet mandolin with fuzzy guitars. It all works together, Right Now." - Billy Block – Western Beat
