"VELVET SKY" Reviews & Interviews |
Austin Woman (December issue)
"...a good example of the best of original music spawned, nurtured and produced in Austin. Easy on the ears... thoughtful and spiritual. Buy one for yourself and one to give away. Here's to the trains I've missed."

John Shelton Ivany Top 21 by John Shelton Ivany
"Autumn creates incredibly well developed country-inspired singer songwriter folk. With extensive pop sensability and not much holding her back, Autumn makes her presence more than well known on this album: she makes herself seen in the spotlight of the album through and through. Her voice is beautiful and emotional, but not cheesy with twang or drenched in auto-tune. Perfectly produced, and not really too much of anything. An incredibly solid pop album."

Austin Chronicle
"Autumn followed up her notable 2006 release, Sugarcane, by remembering the first lesson of a sophomore release: Give the audience plenty of what it came for the first time. Autumn's warm voice wraps "Lessons Never Learned" and "Trains I Missed" in the blanket of folky Americana. The Walt Wilkins-Tim Lorsch produced Velvet Sky posits Autumn alongside Wendy Colonna among the strongest of Austin's new songwriters."

Times Record News (Witchita Falls) - by Don Chance
"The new set from Austin-based singing, piano-playing songwriter Autumn Boukadakis might not feature the breathy vocals of today’s country radio divas, or the frilly, shallow lyrics, but she has something the radio chicks don’t have: Raw talent and a strong sense of musical artistry. I wish her the absolute best luck with it."

"Autumn should be nominated in the Best New Artist category, for a Country Music Award. That is our view for what it is worth. If you appreciate, well-crafted songs and you want to be the first person on your block or in your social group to say that you own a CD, by the next big star in, whether you want to call it Country or Americana music then you should already be planning to purchase Velvet Sky."

Midwest Record Recap
"Take some confessional 70's singer/songwriter vibe, filter it through 90's angst and leaven it with some contemporary Texas songwriting sisters and you get a voice for contemporary college girls that are more into reality than reality shows..."
