Reviews for 2020 album Nashville Tears:
"the album shows she remains one of the purest, and best, vocalists of her era." - Daily Mirror
"Prestwood's slow-burning tales of desire and domestic discord are well-matched by Rumer's beautifully plangent voice, which brings aching melancholy to the heart-searching ballads." - MOJO
"Rumer's voice (Karen Carpenter meets Norah Jones) works well on elegant songs like Bristlecone Pine, June It's Gonna Happen and Hard Times For Lovers." - Daily Express
"Who would've thought that one of the best 'country' albums of 2020 would be by a British pop singer ... but it is!" - Alan Cackett
