“[Lulu Mae is] a disarmingly good-natured folk-rock family band with a knack for storytelling. During a quick listen through Lulu Mae’s first full-length record The Mockingbird and the Dogwood Tree (no, it’s not an Iron and Wine album), you might at different points be reminded of Nickel Creek, Ryan Adams, and The Decemberists, and occasionally, maybe even some Gaelic Storm. What you might not catch from their discography, though, is that Lulu Mae are not a bunch of timid folk softies. Seriously, these guys can rock the f*** out. … Though they stay firmly rooted in the realm of folky, smart, well-orchestrated material, they’ve certainly got the energy, versatility, and range to rock out, especially on a giant stage.” --No Country for New Nashville
