QUOTES
“River Swimmer, Hays’ remarkable third LP, wrings the emotional depth of Mary Gauthier,
outsider narratives of Lucinda Williams, and sharp melodies of Kathleen Edwards.”
– Doug Freeman
The Austin Chronicle
“With heartfelt lyrics and warm folk vibes, her new album is a dream.”
– Gab Soong
KUTX AUSTIN
“She comes from that Lucinda Williams place of mournful poems that flow like molasses over
old scars and fresh wounds, looking for the sunshine but frequently ending up in darkness.”
– Houston Free Press
“Drought comes up anything but dry.”
– Margaret Moser,
The Austin Chronicle (Drought)
“Quite a few women have traveled the roads paved by Lucinda Williams, seldom do they get to
the heart of the matter like Christy Hays.”
– Jim Caligiuri,
The Austin Chronicle
