Here’s what’s been said about Foxglove:

Debbie L. Holmer of The Mendocino Beacon writes, “If you’ve somehow missed hearing this group, you’ll want to remedy that really quickly.”

Adam Springwater, Wild Iris Folk Festival MC, says, “Foxglove takes to the stage and fills the scene with hip, upbeat tunes that blend traditional bluegrass with bluesy vocals and a pleasant splash of rockin' beat. Funky bass lines, stellar vocals, tight mandolin and guitar leads, all bring the crowd to its feet calling out for more. You will not be disappointed!”

KZYX’s Jimmy Humble, host of Humble Pie, states, “Foxglove has an honest appeal, a touching genuine feel to their sound and Morgan Daniel has written some fantastic songs. I was blown away at how good they were when they appeared [live] on my radio show. They’ve already become part of our musical lexicon in Mendocino County and on Humble Pie.”

Tom Yates of KOZT writes, “Since their inception, Foxglove have been a great draw...and great entertainment. Driven by the well-honed but earthy songs of Morgan Daniel and embodying the rare combination of world-class pickers with top- notch vocals (and hamonies), a night with Foxglove is always time well spent.”

                   

Dan MacIntosh of Indie-Music.com wrote this review of Foxglove: “When it comes to making traditional, bluegrass-influenced music, Foxglove is the real deal. This quartet’s self-titled, 12-song CD is filled with the sweetness and warmth we’ve come to expect from the best of this most American style of music. It may hold fast to its beloved musical traditions, but Foxglove is also not afraid to throw in a few unlikely elements into its mix. For instance, the jazzy “Stars Slip By” is nicely augmented by an alto sax solo. Furthermore, “One Of These Days” sports a noteworthy acoustic bass solo. The group is also eclectic in its song selection, which is exemplified by the inclusion of “Angel” by Jimi Hendrix. This group both writes and plays well, and in addition to its Hendrix cover, it also chooses suitable outside material. This disc includes Foxglove’s rendition of Gordon Lightfoot’s “10 Degrees and Getting Colder,” as well as The Carter Family’s “Storms Are On The Ocean.” They also cover “Rock of Ages” by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Good taste would be worthless, however, without a great vocalist to voice these songs. With Gwyn Moreland, Foxglove has just such a stellar singer. Moreland sings these songs with tangible gentleness, but she’s also steadfastly purposeful at the same time. Such a combination of musical professionalism and natural vocal talent is impossible to miss while listening to this fine new CD.

Smother.net reviewed our CD: "Songwriter Morgan Daniel mans the songwriting office while the rest of the band manages to produce his vision of the perfect union of bluegrass, R&B, and rock-n-roll. The mandolin and banjo plucking stands well next to Gwyn Moreland's sweet female vocals, which harmonizes well alongside the stunning fretless bass lines that groove along begging you to join them for the magical ride.

Stringband.com reviewed our CD: "When I first heard sounds clips of Foxglove's self-titled CD on their web site, my first thought was "Cool". If you have to put them in a category, the above quote calling them modern and traditional folk would certainly fit. Yet, the band incorporates elements from many genres of music. I hear a lot of "New Grass" influence, but I also hear some blues and rock elements, mixed into this well-executed acoustic folk mixture. Honestly, at times during the day I can hear some of the guitar and mandolin licks in my head. Too cool! Gwyn's smooth, angelic voice is mesmerizing. Of course the really outstanding feature of Foxglove is the songwriting of Morgan Daniel. Most of the tracks are originals by Morgan and wonderfully interpreted by the whole band. I really like it when a bass player gets a chance to solo on his instrument, as John Bush gets to several times. And the clean, bluesy mandolin of Booie rocks. The whole album is nicely mixed with a very clean, strong sound. Morgan and Gwyn trade off lead vocals, and John Bush even gets to sing lead on the Jimi Hendrix song Angel. Overall, I enjoyed the FOXGLOVE CD, and I can see why they are such a big hit in the California folk scene. They have a mix that can take them far. Check out their web site and get your own copy of FOXGLOVE. You will be glad you did."
