Press Highlights:

"... her outsized impact on not just Texas blues, but the genre as a whole, can't be overstated." - Living Blues Magazine 

"Angela Strehli has a voice as big as Texas. She deserves to have her likeness carved on the face of the biggest hill in the Lone Star State, Mount Rushmore-style, as a tribute to her musical prowess." - No Depression

"... full of fervour and a shit ton of cool. Strehli graces us with her presence like the expert she is, reminding the young guns just who brought the game to the table in the first place... Strehli makes effortless work of songs made famous by Elmore James, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Otis Clay and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, cementing her own place as a true genius of the genre." - Holler

"For over 50 years, her voice has graced the music world, sashaying through genre, leaving gentle yet permeant imprints wherever she landed — but no such mark has been left so cleanly as her mark on the blues." - Relix Magazine

"Ace of Blues may well be Strehli’s career-best, worthy of landmark status, and an excellent, most fitting way to relaunch the Antone’s label since Strehli was there from its inception." - Glide Magazine

"... Ace of Blues is a surely crowning moment. Strehli's voice has become such a moving source of soulful strength, it's like hearing a gift from beyond." Favorite Albums of 2022 - Americana Highways 

"Ace of Blues confirms the Lubbock native hasn't lost her touch... the music here serves as satisfying comfort food for blues lovers and clearly attests to the fact that Angela Strehli can still deliver the goods... C.O.D." - The Austin Chronicle

"... the woman's voice can stand up to anyone. She has a depth of feeling on these recordings that is nothing short of overwhelming." - Bentley's Bandstand, Americana Highways

"... She's as vital and vivacious as ever... A stirring set of songs, Ace of Blues finds Strehli playing a winning hand." - The Alternate Root

"Ace of Blues manages the not inconsiderable feat of being a tribute to past influences with performances that are so vividly in the present." - Qobuz
