"Miss Laurie Ann and The SaddleTones bring to life music that seems to have been long gone. The writing and playing on the band's 2012 album Hitch Yer Wagon takes you back to the days when country music sounded like country music. This new release seems almost lost in time compared to today's country music scene; so for those looking for that classic country sound, look no further than Hitch Yer Wagon from The SaddleTones. Review by Matheson Kamin Rating: 5 stars (out of 5)" Matheson Kamin, Matheson's Entertainment Blog
“FRIEND REVIEW: "Reminds me of bands like Live, Sponge, or simular mid-90s alt rock bands...I really enjoyed listening to this song. Engaging and memorable hook, good sectional contrast...the release of the chorus is great because it contrasts so well with the verses; its louder and more powerful and emotional...it has great momentum...this song is really solid and you guys definately have talent. Best of luck!"”

“This short disc includes some well written, catchy songs including “Female.” The track is about how girls should not worry about looking like women in fashion magazines and even includes the words everyone will hear at some point: “Do I look okay? She asked on our way, I say you’re lookin’ great.” Tied In 2 easily proves on this album that they can write good quality music that people can understand and identify with instantly. “Friend” is about that person who gets into a bad scene and starts to drift away. The lyrics “you’re getting closer to hell now and it shows” make me think of so many people I have known over the years that drift away into bad situations...This album is nice and simple rock with a side of pop that will be easy to hear on the radio and sing along with... Tied In 2 has made a debut album that most of us will be able to identify with easily and enjoy. They should have no problem gaining recognition for this collection of catchy tunes. ”

"Start your engines! Rev ‘em up! Break out those crankin’ guitars, diggin’ basslines, and jumpin’ drums! Keep those beats a hoppin’ along at a nonstop peppy clip! Make sure those quick tempos likewise rarely let up for a minute! And make sure those vocals are very robust and passionate while you’re at it! Hell, toss in smart and thoughtful lyrics for good music! But most importantly keep it simple, catchy, and tuneful throughout! Mix all this good stuff together and the net result is one hell of a sweet little EP CD pip!"
