REVIEWS

"Ally Venable may be based in Texas for now, but it's only a matter of time before the entire planet hears her song."
- Brian M. Owens with Blues Music Magazine, review of Puppet Show


"This is a remarkably confident and assured release. Already a top notch guitarist, vocalist, and fine songwriter, Ally Venable is definitely ready to move forward in the blues world. Puppet Show should give her a major boost in that direction."
- Graham Clarke, Phoenix Blues Society


"Venable is the real deal. It's tough for anyone to balance acrobatic vocals and acrobatic guitar playing in a way that doesn't sound like an awful afternoon at Guitar Center. It's impressive that Venable has done it at such a young age."
- Texas Music Magazine, review of Puppet Show

"
The Ally Venable Band has minted blues-rock gold with Puppet Show, which is chock full of solid musicianship and well crafted tunes."
- Blues Blast Magazine


"The Ally Venable Band has the capability of totally rocking your socks off with their two-fisted rock 'n' rolling brand of
​the blues."
- Aquarian Weekly, review of Puppet Show
