Press

With raw energy and defiant vocals the singer proclaims her resilience and testifies her hard-as-steel personality that’s been burnished in the fires of her life.
— Lee Zimmerman, Living Blues
There is a special thrill in listening to an album you have never heard before, especially from an artist you have never really listened to. And whole other, higher, level of thrill when the album turns out to be as strong as Janiva Magness’ Hard to Kill.
— Americana Highways
Here’s the thing about Magness: she makes you feel like you do know her, even if you’ve never met. Just listen to her music. She has the capacity to receive, internalize and channel emotion in a way that would likely destroy most humans.
— John Kessler, KNKX
