    She sings [everything] so prettily that you wonder just how authentic her misery really is. [Aug 2006, p.113]

    Quite boring. [Jul/Aug 2006, p.125]

    Tombs doesn’t smack of inauthenticity--you just find yourself wishing that she’d had gone whole-hog into her Nashville play. [Summer 2006]

    She's a surprisingly convincing country singer. [Sep 2006, p.143]

    Barroom confessions that are more soulful, if somewhat less tuneful, than her day band's. [Sep 2006, p.106]
  6. Millan's first solo effort is solid, but it feels like more of an experiment than anything.
  7. Honey's more fleshed-out productions show Millan has the ability to be engaging on her own, but they are too scarce to make this album anything more than a humble footnote.
  8. In country music, it’s all about the chops--and Millan doesn’t have ‘em. Yet.

    Millan's Honey From The Tombs more than satisfies with its folk/country (yes, more folk than country) melodies and her trademark vocals. Millan's Honey From The Tombs more than satisfies with its folk/country (yes, more folk than country) melodies and her trademark vocals. While a few of these songs could have fit someone with a more grizzled voice better, with her voice, that's a minor complaint. The more alternative-oriented "Skinny Boy," "Headsfull," and "All the Miles" add variety. Believe the hype! Full Review »
