Guitar One Records review The Best of Sandy Atkinson
"She has a naturally gritty voice and power to spare. The band that surrounds her on this set delivers the goods at every turn.
This record falls somewhere between traditional and contemporary. It lives in those wonderful cracks that perhaps Roomful Of Blues resides in. Sticking to the blues tradition while still moving the ball forward a few feet. Never too far to lose the traditionalist, but still putting her own fingerprint on the time tested blues format. Sometimes it's polished, sometimes gritty, but consistently emotive and well done. Fans of the blues and classic R&B will find a lot to like about this…"
St. Pete Life Magazine: (p 76) “Atkinson is a dynamic vocalist, songwriter and band leader…known for her versatile--breathy, raspy and soulful--she effortlessly weaves blues, rock and Americana into a compelling musical tapestry.”

If you're a fan of "The Voice", then you've seen those blind auditions where within seconds, all four judges immediately - and almost simultaneously - press their buttons. 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. Musically, with everyone being individually highlighted, it's a great introduction to The True Loves. This dance floor filler features a rockin' rhythm that gets taken up several levels by the fiery piano and sax leads; scorching guitar leads; and party style vocals all designed for you to have a good time tonight.
Music News, Nashville Review
