TWANGVILLE ALBUM REVIEW
“Crow and Gazelle don’t just play music— they create moments, shared experiences that remind us of our own humanity. In a world that often feels disconnected and chaotic, their music is a tether, grounding us, reminding us that we are not alone…” Black Moon media
“ I hurry to recommend "Crow & Gazelle." The union (both musical and personal) of red-dirt legend Mike McClure and the multi-talented Chrislyn Lawrence is music that is made for all the right reasons - it’s full of redemption and promise. To my ears, they are the best new folk/americana duo working in music today.” Greg Johnson, The Blue Door, OKC
