"Brigitte London doesn't need to do anything except write about her life to come up with songs better than anything being written in Nashville." - San Antonio Express-News
------------------------------------------------------------------
Brigitte London is known for her powerful voice, direct songwriting that is filled with colorful imagery, and her "take no prisoners" stage presence. Upon her arrival in the Austin, Texas music scene in 1997, London immediately established herself with her reputation for playing with only the "best of the best," citing many local legends as band members.
Her lady-outlaw attitude and soulful sweetness captivated audiences and made her a crowd favorite. She received critical acclaim for her Texas recordings, and in 2006 relocated to Nashville after connecting with legendary musicians-former Waylon Jennings band members Richie Albright, Jerry Bridges and Fred Newell-and formed the now growing movement Spirit of the Outlaws, which is a monthly show in Nashville, a national tour and an Online Magazine, and now she herself has become a legend.

******* "With vocal talent reminiscent of Etta James, a blend of blues, soul and country with a slightly rocky edge and a reputation of playing with 'the best of the best' she's got it sorted, and it shows." Maverick Magazine
******* "The fantastic - and that's an understatement - beauty who recently moved from Texas to Nashville is presenting a very attractive hybrid (mix) of country, blues and soul. One moment she comes close to grand dames such as Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi; the next moment she brings you the rich outlaw country traditions of her former home state." Ctrl.altcountry Magazine
******* "Brigitte London makes a real impression, and her genre blending ability may be compared closely to Jessi Colter, although her delivery is unique and absolutely splendid, and contains quality that surpasses that of her contemporaries." Rootstime
******* "Covering a few musical bases here are we? Stay close: London hits lots of them here, and she's shooting lots of bull's-eyes. Rounding out the list is a Jennings/Shaver tune, “You Ask Me To”, further proof that calling Brigitte London versatile is a bit of an understatement. " Freight Train Boogie
