ngnoon_night_showONE LONG BLINK REVIEWED IN VINTAGE GUITAR By Dan Forte"Waking Up" opens the set with a cinematic, train-ride feel, before Roth's voice enters-soft but not small. The whole song vamps between two chords, but, unlike others in that mold, this is no mere hippie-dippy noodling. The melody is strong; drummer Shannon Ford and bassist Paul Osola groove masterfully: and dad adds some tasty slide. The effect is hypnotic- here and on the poignant title track and the harder-edged "Flashing".-Vintage Guitar (Dan Forte, 2007)"Angry River," penned by Arlen, shows a bluesier side, but Lexie doesn't hammer you over the head with blues mama excesses; she sucks you in with restraint and understatement."-Vintage Guitar (Dan Forte, 2007)"I Just Might" has a light Latin cadence, punctuated by the elder Roth's acoustic fills, while Gershen's "I'd Rather Live in The Past" strikes a modern Celtic tone, with Mindy Jostyn's accordion and violin and Roth's multiple tremoloed guitars, and the brief "It's A Mystery," with Arlen's acoustic slide, has an "O Brother" timelessness.- Vintage Guitar (Dan Forte, 2007)"The two covers are brilliant strokes-subtly accentuating "Dream Lover's" cha-cha and getting to the heart of "You Can Close Your Eyes"- illustrating how well Lexie Roth knows her own voice. Besides debuting a promising siner/songwriter, this represents some of Arlen Roth's best guitar and production work- not drawing attention to himself but to what's important here: the voice and the songs."- Vintage Guitar (Dan Forte, 2007)
