"The shot in the arm blues rock needed. Amythyst makes shimmering Southern Americana instilled with Black power and gay pride; confrontational protest songs mixed with rousingly personal tales of love and anguish, and everywhere Kiah’s jawdropping vocal theatrics. Basically the hottest thing in country blues right now FFO: Valerie June, Shovels & Rope, Emmylou Harris, Rhiannon Giddens."
