Despite the classy front lobby, behind the velvet-curtained doors of Miss Yasmineh’s personal musical saloon lies a maze of unrequited desires, pain-wracked self-realization, and good old down n’ dirty love tales –- it’s been said before about more obvious releases, but this one really was made to play loud. Sufi Line is an album fans of soulful, from-the-heart pop/rock with a slightly twisted, self-deprecating grin will be delighted to discover.
PRAISE FOR THE TOUR "One of the Top 5 new local acts."
- J on Bream, Star Tribune Music Editor
" A throwback to the best 1990s' chick pop-rock, Yasmineh teases like The Divinyls and broods like Liz Phair. "
- Sara Henning, Duluth News Tribune Music Editor
"Promising newcomer Courtney Yasmineh... has a golden soul-rocker
voice and a sound like
Joan Osborne ,
and her songs such as Blindsided Again and Let the Boat Burn feature an edgy,
you-took-my-joy grit that would make
Lucinda Williams proud."
- Chris Riemenschneider,
Minneapolis Music Critic
"Yasmineh's album
Sufi L ine ,
which features Honeydogs keyboardist Jeff Victor, recalls the bluesy, soulful
approach of
Joan Osborne
or
Sam Phillips ."
- Christopher Bahn, The Onion AV Club
