What the Critics are saying:

"Her promising debut is contemporary country soaked in the influence of 1970's country-rock and California pop -  it's a winning fusion."
- Chris Neal, Country Weekly

'Goddess' Shawna Russell's debut album  wraps mainstream pop, romantic balladry and high-impact rock ‘n' roll into a pure Country package. With a glittering future ahead, Russell can take pride for launching her catalog with this powerful debut.
- Robert L. Doerschuk CMA Close Up Debut Artist Spotlight

- B.J. Jones, Music Editor, Country Chart.com
