"...one of the most interesting and enjoyable recordings I've heard in years. [Coming Out Alive] balances groove, beautiful yet unpredictable harmony, clever themes, wide tonal colors, and first-class production." — Bill Piburn, Fingerstyle Guitar Journal
Acoustic Diaries - Vol. 1 is the first collection of music from a train trip across Canada and the USA, during which Alison Whiteacre spent a couple of months with a backpack, a guitalele, and a voice recorder.
"Tossing folk, funk, noise rock, and skewed pop into a mosh pit and diving in naked after them, Whiteacre lays bare both her songwriter's aching soul and the bold body of musicianship that channels it." ~ James Rotondi, Guitar Player magazine
"When you think of the words 'guitar virtuoso,' you don't exactly think of someone who knows how to write great songs, lyrics that say something, a melody that is impossible to forget. Whiteacre does it all so well." ~ Scott Bolton, Ventura County Reporter
“Sugary melodies, off-kilter harmonies and truly twisted fretwork give this record real depth and heft.”
