“Madison alt-country songstress Whitney Mann has established herself as a smart songwriter with a crystalline voice on 2009's splendid The Way Back Home EP” - The Onion (AV Club – Madison)

"The Way Back Home shines with soul and sass, reminiscent of Jenny Lewis and Kasey Chambers. Mann drapes her bittersweet lyrics with sticky tenderness and wails like a woman scorned but proud. Her singing is wonderfully expressive, sometimes smoky and sometimes high-strung and bent with bluesy insistence." - Wisconsin State Journal

"I consider her one of Madison's must-see artists" … “Madison’s finest country crooner” - Dane101.com
