“The Starlings were one of the 5 best in-store performances we have ever had. Wherever you are, whomever is reading this, go see this band. They are the real thing.” -The Record Exchange, Boise, ID

"The spirits of Mother Maybelle Carter, Woody Guthrie and John Steinbeck are alive and well in 'Songbook,' a spectacular Americana album by The Starlings. So rich are the harmonies, so honest is the songwriting, so organic is lead singer Joy Mills' timbre that you can practically feel the heat from the wood burning stove and smell the coffee brewing on top of it." -Michael Swanger, Des Moines City View

“Organic country…both delicate and edgy… For the lo-fi country enthusiast, the Starlings’ natural charm and raw potential, like the Starlings themselves, are a winning combination. Highly recommended.” – Maverick Magazine

"The Starlings vocal harmonies, acoustic goodness and sweet blend of folk and country set the stage for the band's storied original songwriting and the compelling presence of vocalist Joy Mills.” -KEXP.org
