“Atkinson’s voice is the throughline. Grainy, elastic and soaked in truth. She bends a phrase until it confesses then snaps it back with a flash of defiance.  The band rides shotgun with muscle and finesse. Guitars snarl and sting, keys roll like a riverboat gambler’s grin and the saxophones curl around the groove with sultry intent… For seasoned followers, it’s an affirmation. For the uninitiated, it’s a hell of a place to start.”   Colin Campbel, Blues Matters Magazine. 

Guitar One Records:  “She has a naturally gritty voice and power to spare. The band that surrounds her on this set delivers the goods at every turn.”

“The Best of Sandy Atkinson is just that—the best of a very talented woman with a tremendous vocal range and a soulful style that will keep listeners coming back for more.”   Ken Bellitt, Blues Blast Magazine.

It doesn’t happen too often, but when it does it’s always because of a unique voice. “Have A Good Time Tonight”, the disc’s title track, is one of those songs, and Sandy – with a brilliant blend of sass and sultry – is that voice."
