"Laurette Langille probably could sing 'The Good Ship Lollypop' or the
Seattle phone book and make it sound like the blues."
Stu Tomlinson Bellingham Herald

"Ms. Langille sat up on the stage...alternating dirty bellows, sweet
clean phrases, straight-forward stanzas, and phrases she bent and
customized to the point you could probably see (around) the corners
with them."
Pedar Herom  Victory Music Reveiw

"This Bellingham acoustic blues guitarist and vocalist is a Northwest
treasure. Langille's got an original edge on both traditional and new
material--a young Bonnie Raitt without any L.A. jive."
The Seattle Rocket

"Her raw, soulful delivery and stinging slide guitar work to create a
powerful mesmerizing effect on her audiences. Her performances,
mixing classic blues tunes with her own potent originals, have made
her an enduring Northwest favorite."
Steve Murray   NW Events & Lifestyle Reveiw

"Laurette's got a truly outstanding voice, compared by someone I was
sitting with to Maria Muldaur, and by myself to Bonnie Raitt..perhaps
you can picture the direction we're pointing here."
Mark Bristol   Blue Suede News

"Laurette can deliver an original acoustic blues number with the
conviction of a true artist. Makes me twitch. 'Cause you're outta town
sho' don't mean you're outta blues."
Nick Vigarino  Washington State Blues Society Bluesletter

"She sings powerfully, her voice clear and confident. Accompanying
herself on the guitar, she captures the special feeling of each song,
and communicates it powerfully to the audience...Langille sings the
blues because it's the music that speaks most directly to her and it
shows."
Peter Nicoletta   Northwest Living

"It's easy to get hopelessly entangled in her raw, ragged and rowdy
brand of blues...her best songs are the sassy kick-ass classics that
Billie Holliday and Bessie Smith made great."
Joan Connell  The Bellingham Herald
