It's kinda rough, but check out the new video blog!
"Kata And The Blaze pushes the envelope with a new kind of glory coming out of Knoxville. A rockable country that drops the twang and makes it easy to send Upstream. Kata appeals to the mainstream with her soulful voice and sweet southern style. Her music is simple yet refined rock to groove in the country scene or in a low key mid-city lounge. Either place is cool with Kata And The Blaze in the background."

"Kata is a excellent singer, with a sultry voice, and great stage presence..."
Barry Switzer - Former head coach of Dallas Cowboys, and OU
-
"Kata and The Blaze are truly creating a completely new genre of music!"
Julian - Host of 'Sounds Like Country'
-
"WOW!! This girl is GOOD! A fine songwriter... you should give this gal a listen!..."
John Pearse - John Pearse Strings Inc.
-
"This Sultry Diva (Kata Hay) is the hottest thing to come out of Sevierville since Dolly Parton!..."
Steve Wildsmith - The Daily Times
-
"All ears focuse on this haunting, exotic voice as she squeezes and releases each syllable from her vocal chords in a purposefully restrained at points and gloriously soaring in others, in a seasoned fashion. Confident, edgy, defiant, and marvelously inticing."

"If Anything, 'Reckless' defies categorization. It's a musical pot of jambalaya, with equal parts blues, honky-tonk weepers, bluegrass touches, a little rock, a bit western and... well, the list could go on and on. Suffice it to say that with Hay wielding a six-string and a voice that makes Kelly Clarkson sound like Horshack on "Welcome Back Kotter", there's not a bad apple in the bunch."
