Tracy O'Connell Home Page

"Americana singer-songwriter Tracy O'Connell fruitfully combines spirits of folk, bluegrass, and traditional country on her new all-acoustic album, Durango Red. She captures untainted emotion with her delicate vocals ... O'Connell's strength lies in her sweet voice and storytelling ability."
~ Singer Magazine, February 2005

"... a sweet voice with backing music as timeless as the cicadas’ song. ... if you worship at the church of the Carter Family you’ll bow down to this." ~ David Cowling, americana-uk.com

"… a beautiful, clear country voice … a solid, fine country album."
~ Bart Ebisch, Altcountry.nl

"Taking cues from the great country singers Patsy Cline and Emmylou Harris, O’Connell inhabits her songs with intimacy and grace and believability." ~ Geoff Bartley, Songwriter, Guitarist

"Your album is beautiful inside and out. Amazing for a debut recording, it would be a fine second or third recording." ~ Dave Palmater, Host, WUMB Folk Radio 91.9 fm, Boston MA
