From My old Kentucky Blog:
Many of Alexa Woodward's banjo-driven folk songs slowly slink like fog down from the Appalachian mountains and hills of Virgina and wrap your soul in melancholy. Woodward's 2009 release, Speck, is full of subtle textures and well-matched harmonies that support interesting and well-written narratives.
From Nuvo:
The music of Alexa Woodward, filled with plucky banjos and lamenting, flawless vocal performances, provides the listener with a sound from long ago. Woodward effortlessly sings and plucks her banjo to her backwoods-inspired songs without sounding like someone chasing the textbook example of porch music.
