‘A stunning musical masterpiece that is up there with the best of Eilen Jewel, Devon Sproule and Amy Lavere’ – Maverick

‘The Kansas Sessions’, Kirsty’s fourth full length album, on her own record label, Hobopop Recordings; a company set up to spearhead her own sense of musical fair-trade, is dominated by Kirsty’s clear, intimate, English diction and phrasing, her dark, sometimes macabre, celebrations of life, and Mat Martin’s inspirational musicianship – it was recorded in the United States and is full of joyously engaging songs, shining with American influences.’ – Rough Trade

‘A fine album, and possibly her best so far’ – R2 ****
