"Spicy countryfunk! 10 great original
compositions. This Vancouver duo has certainly found a fresh country concept,
easily moving between hectic countrysurf and a nice touch of laid-back
bluegrass. Steve Elliott & Lucie Walker are 100 % present on this
passionate recording!" Gert Fridlund,

"You only have to listen to
Steve Elliott & Lucie Walker once to realize that they’re the real
thing.
The combination of Elliott’s rocking guitar and rough edged passionate
vocals and Walker’s pure-toned yet wonderfully warm voice and her
sensitive way with a lyric has a genuineness about it that puts more carefully
contrived country acts to shame. These are real people who sing about real
people, and they’re adding to friends won locally with appearances across
Canada . . .Straight Up expands on their live appeal without losing any of its
essence."

Anonymous - 2001-08-28 15:07:11 - Cool tune. Rockin, country, blues, just like the sign says. This is what music *ought* to be like.
Anonymous - 2001-08-28 16:13:48 - Awesome as usual!! So when the heck r you guys comin' back to Calgary again?!
Anonymous - 2001-08-29 13:41:03 - Fantastic song. Very upbeat with a thrusting rhythm that moves the song forward. It's hard to stand still while listening - it makes you want to move! Wonderful vocals and the spot-on lyrics add even more to "Take it As it Comes". Great tune.

Owolabi Ogunleye - 2001-09-02 14:46:30 - very sonorous with a great sense of composition. Educating, as well as consoling! (Nigeria)
Anonymous - 2001-09-05 12:09:31 - Love their music. Steve's guitar work is great and Lucie's voice is so natural and clean. Good music.
. . . And of our song, 'Borderline'
Anonymous - 2001-08-28 15:05:31 - Wow. What a wonderful song. As strong a lyric as I've ever seen, and very beautiful.
Anonymous - 2001-08-31 15:37:07 - Exceptional song. Stirring melody and heartfelt lyrics. Great cross-over potential. This one could go top ten with the right exposure.
"They call their music
"Rockin' Country Blues" but all their tunes reveal deep country
roots. A tasteful steel guitar and fiddle embellish a mixture of 10 original
tunes ranging from the rockin' 'It's a Cruel Cruel World' to ballads like
'Borderline'. Straight Up features great harmonies and superb musicianship, so
if you like your country on the contemporary side, you can't go wrong picking
up this CD. In fact, you can even dance to it!"
Fred Smith, 'Scene Magazine'
"With a loose, rootsy feel,
Steve Elliott and Lucie Walker seem to be having a heck of a good
time!"
John P. McLaughlin, 'The Province'
"It’s a very, very good
record...they are to be congratulated!"
