Praise for In Front Of Us…
"Using a string section that invokes the Nashville Sound, Sperry dances on the line between Shania and Sleater-Kinney" - The Boot
“...a musical reminder that we stop to enjoy the present and not put as much stock into our fears of the future. It’s a message—and a record—we should all hear.” - Americana Highways
“...brimming with lush textures and poignant, thought-provoking lyrics, this 10-track Laurel Canyon-esque effort is not to be missed.”
“‘Cool Under Pressure‘ is a political song, but one that holds up a huge banner and says ‘whoop!’” - Americana-UK
"Ali Sperry has brought her A game to this one and with these arrangements, accompaniments, performances and ideas she’s found the perfect setting for her musical – and lyrical voice." - The Rocking Magpie
“...a highly accomplished album finding a lofty plateau early on and purring with a smooth glide of consistency.
"An album of symbolic principle, song with an edge, but delivered calmly, with quality, and with faith in the listener’s soul to see past others who damn and shatter the peace of thinking all possible scenarios through." - Liverpool Sound and Vision
Praise for Crooked Feelings…
“One young Nashville singer is taking a big step toward distinguishing herself in the enormous pool of talent living and making music there. Ali Sperry, a modest young singer/songwriter with a personality that comes over with sweet earnestness in such a competitive world, has an ambition. That goal is to reach listeners by creating lyrics and melodies, with effective production values, that will resonate with listeners in powerful but varied ways. She succeeds in her newly released second album, “Crooked Feelings.” ”--Ron Wray, No Depression
Independent Contractor Spotlight
"So, with all that in mind, as the presence of 70s jangle amongst the would-be modern singer-songwriter grows more and more prevalent, Nashville’s Ali Sperry has chosen to go the way of the Collins, Guthrie, and Denny. Rather than join the jangle-fray, Sperry chose instead to revisit that lost age of genre-medling magnificence on her upcoming LP Crooked Feelings. Its airy and open, but not so nebulous that Sperry’s musical and lyrical intentions become indeterminate and lazily referred to as “singer-songwriter” fodder."--Sean McHugh, Lockeland Springsteen
"Ms. Sperry's vocals take the center stage throughout, with a warm Karen Carpenter-esquepurity. Its familiar and inviting."--Beverly Napalm, The Noise
