Reviews
Susan (Sedona, Arizona), 14 July 2020:
I am just blown away! ... [‘Cactus Rose’] is such a beautiful song and the lyrics and music are so captivating... I love your music and your love for animals... the energy I felt after visiting your website was overwhelming.
Singer-songwriter Gordon McKinney on Mandy’s performance at the Bluebird Café, Nashville, 1 July 2019:
Mandy Woods took our breath away with her amazing story telling, delicate delivery and lyrical genius...wow!
Trades Club, Hebden Bridge, 15 October 2017:
Really inspired me last night Mandy, your songs are so well crafted and the first one [‘Before You’] could have been written for me… A real pleasure…
The Bell Folk Club, Adderbury, 5 September 2016:
Mandy’s song about a Grandmother (‘Safe in Grandma’s Arms’) was quite beautiful, but should only be sung in future if boxes of tissues are issued in advance.
Uckfield Folk & Blues Club, 14 April 2016:
And so we came to Mandy Woods. All of her songs were self-penned and her lyrics are poignant, sensitive and clever... I was reminded somehow of Buffy Sainte-Marie ... the depth and belief behind the words. An impressive performance.
From Sleeping Bag Studios’ review of Mandy’s All Along EP:
The ‘All Along (Remix)’ is wonderful. It certainly has the advantage of being an incredibly well-written song, but the additional low-end in the production and general fullness of this track is thicker, bigger, stronger. Truly though – she’s got herself a champion of a song on her hands and a real journey in acoustic folk-music here in ‘All Along’, no matter which version you choose, they both have impeccable merit and certainly a place on my stereo. Mandy’s created a really strong vibe that’s all her own and it comes through shining through the music, lyrics and smoothed-out feel of this final remix; a very smart way to end a well-written EP with the memorable impact it deserves.
