"Once clearly on the folky side of the street, Alana Gentry has now designed a show that quickly progresses from folk-rock to funk-rock, and it is a joy to behold. Hitting an emotional high at the middle point of her set with a magnificent song called "The Words 'I Love You'," she held the audience captive, like a fluttering bird. The applause had barely died down before she unleashed the band for a group of songs that had such crunch that people were doing that pelvis-wagging thing all over the room. No matter what the tempo of the numbers, Gentry takes listeners on a tour of the heart with lyrics that appear intensely personal..."

"Alana Gentry is one of the few singer/songwriter performing pop rock in the Los Angeles area I wouldn't mind seeing over and over again. Wonderful tunes, lovely melodies, engaging lyrics, original delivery and a band that is not only tight, but knows when to back-off and let Alana's unique voice sail over the music. And what a voice it is. Softly caressing a tender moment or cranked up loud enough to rattle the glasses at the bar, she always hits the notes, captures the moment and delivers an emotional punch. This night Alana was joined on stage by Stacy Keanan to treat the audience to a one song duet. I know one song doesn't seem worth mentioning, but this was as good a duet as any I have ever heard. Goosebumps rising on your arms good. Just wonderful."

"Much, much cooler was Alana Gentry, a singer/ songwriter type who was neither waify nor boring; she was sort of the anti-Jewel or a better Sheryl Crow, full of earthy, throaty, weathered vocals and lyrics that rang out like she's lived every verb. She was good - really good. "
