COUNTRY MUSIC ROUND UP

SEPTEMBER 2005
12TH TRUCKERS FESTIVAL-INTERLAKEN - SWITZERLAND

On the Saturday afternoon we had to take time out to attend the "Meet and Greet", get together and over a glass of champagne we met and talked to David and Howard Bellamy, the latter accompanied by his young wife, David's sons Jesse and Noah and Britain's beautiful Rachael Warwick.

That night in the big marquee Rachael opened the concert. Beside a couple of slower numbers like Jolene and Knocking on Heavens Door and the wonderful Travelling Soldier the set was quite rocky and up-tempo giving Rachael the chance to use the whole of the large stage to her advantage. It was my first viewing of her and I was very impressed with her professional show and vibrant appearance. The crowd loved her and she even had the line dancers doing their steps on the purpose made floor.

"Sensational” doesn’t do this justice. As if the dreamy melody and gorgeous production weren’t enough, she sings like a goddess. Rachael’s debut is a six-song sampler featuring this single. By the sound of it, this Brit diva belongs on a major label.

Country meets soft rock idiom. “Anglo-Americana” is a good name because that’s what Rachael represents. Quality vocals and musicianship

Rachael Warwick's performance was vibrant and dynamic. If she was from the US she would be in the Keith Urban & Gretchen Wilson Gang.

I caught Rachael Warwick's stunning debut on the Friday afternoon. Here was an act as good as any I’ve seen in Nashville and Promoter Chris was quick to get up on stage at the end of her performance to announce that he was booking Rachael there and then for a star spot next year.

The award winning Rachael Warwick came out with a raunchy start and gave a stunning performance enhanced by a terrific five piece band behind her making every song a big production number to some excellent songs written by Rachael. At her finish Chris Jackson (the organiser) came out to add his plaudits and state that “Rachael is the new face of British Country Music”.

Rachael Warwick has a voice that is as clear and fresh as a Hill Country morning...a voice that is soulful and haunting as an evening on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Combine that with a flair for creative songwrting and you have the complete package of Rachael Warwick's new cd "Maverick". The six song collection is highlighted by "Mistake"...an emotional, honest song about love and the agony of love lost. "Highway 109" is pure country with a clever hook about two characters you will recognize.

Rachael Warwick and her music combines integrity and vision with intelligence and independence. If you are wondering where the "new" talent for the 21st Century is coming from look no farther than Rachael Warwick. After all we need more "Mavericks" and that is no "Mistake" Jim Patrick (programme Director of KIKT-FM in Greenville, Texas)

"Rachael is a true talent, the real deal and a breath of fresh air in this format, I can see her accepting the Female Vocalist of the year at the CMA or ACM's" Tom Clarke - Hill at Saga Country

“MTV should turn their cameras on Rachael Warwick! She’s got it all… the looks, the voice, and well crafted songs that will stand the test of time” Paul Scaturro President Webcds.com

"You've never met anyone quite like Rachael Warwick, the stunning alt-country Brit that recently splashed onto the Nashville scene. Rachael is as charming and gorgeous as she is talented. She's got a good head on her shoulders and she isn't afraid to be herself -- even if it isn't what everyone else wants or expects. Now that's integrity." Graham Griffiths – Associate Arts Editor Out & About Nashville

“On her new Maverick LP, British Singer/Songwriter Warwick draws on pop and alt-country influences to create her own brand of rootsy anglo-americana” Nashville Scene

“Rachael Warwick a striking UK pop country artist who rests somewhere between Shania Twain and Casey Chambers and bears an uncanny resemblance to Angelina Jolie” Nashville Rage

"Mistake is the stand out track, with an emotive and catchy chorus that one can believe in. Highway 109 is clearly the most country and for the die hard fan, the clever reference to Mary Ann and Wanda from the controversial Dixie Chicks hit 'Goodbye Earl', gives the saga a new lease of life. "Fresh sounding music and incredibly pleasant vocal, each track different, appealing to a wide spectrum of musical tastes. I played it for people who usually never listen to country music, and they found it very enjoyable."
Marie Crichton, 'Cross Country' show on thebridgewalsall

“Rachael Warwick’s new album walks the line between nu and alternative country with a tinge of pop thrown in for good measure. The production is exemplary (thanks to Mark Moffatt) and the musicianship gives the impression of a very tight band which lifts Rachael to great heights. One could compare Rachael to many other artists but she excels above this and comparisons would not do her or her work justice. Rachael is her own person and deserves recognition for this alone” Tony Bates 3WBC 94.1 FM Australia

“Rachael’s song “Mistake”, is kicking butt at the station, I have had to move it into heavy rotation because of all the requests.” “Her music is as beautiful as her face….her voice simply angelic, her roots are pure country as you can hear in her lyrics. Rachael Warwick is making her mark in country music. The response to Mistake from our female listeners has been overwhelming. Many calling it honest, heartfelt and with a message they get immediately, its now at #1 on my station chart " Michael L Sexton WCOK N.C USA

“Rachael Warwick – The Uk’s next new hope, championed as Britain’s best chance in the last ten years of making it big in the states and she is going to be huge in the UK.
Her single “Mistake is out of the top drawer” Stuart Cameron – Hotdisc UK (CMA International broadcaster of the year).

“Mistake – The next Womens anthem” Mark Moffatt (5 times producer of the year Australia)

As Rachael's first single "Mistake", floats through the airwaves, one thought comes to mind: FREEDOM. This voice, this celestial voice, has the emotional quality of flying in dreams. As I close my eyes, I see a Southern, summer river quickly passing below me as rachael hits every note with grace and ease. Now it's up to the listeners to decide if the world wants to hear Rachael Warwick. In the humble opinion of an old music editor, we most certainly do. Jadyn M Stevens

“A diminutive figure emboldened with feisty energy, Rachael bounds around on stage with infectious enthusiasm” The Telegraph Group UK

I was amazed of two things : Rachael's beauty and the quality of the production/arrangements. Ok, all is not pure country music, but it is music of high quality. Rachael's vocal is all her own.

Sensual, powerful and that allows her to be brilliant in pop/rock and in
country. Both my favourite songs to play are "Mistake" and "Highway 109" because first of all I host a country show. But I will play the other songs too. Of course Rachael deserves to be a star. Maybe in both worlds (pop and country). She owns all the good ingredients.
If I can help her in playing her songs, it will be with a greeat pleasure. I am a European CMA reporter
