“Already a leading light in L.A.’s independent country scene, the HawtThorns swing for the heartland country-rock fences with “Shaking,” whose brightly-strummed guitars and sunny harmonies channel the warmth of the band’s west coast home.”- Rolling Stone

“The HawtThorns – “Nothing But a Shadow” – What an interesting and brilliantly dark-textured track from this Nashville-based duo, with the Roger McGuinn-esque guitar solo putting it over the top.” – Saving Country Music

The new album’s title track [Zero Gravity] a sumptuous take on romantic longing, one of the best since Lucinda Williams’ “Essence.” But instead of waiting on someone’s back steps, it’s an interstellar journey. –  No Depression
