Of the twelve songs on this album, Kelly either wrote or co-wrote nine of the cuts. Her songwriting style is only surpassed by her vocal skills. This has to be one of the more original classic country voices that I’ve heard in a long time.” Bob Bender, Curb Records – Nashville, TN “I didn’t find one dud on the album. This green-eyed beauty should go far if radio really knows what it is doing. This one is a keeper! (7 of 7 possible stars)” Brad Fischer – Music City CD Corner -- Nashville, TN “Her voice is so pure and real, that it makes this a very easy album to listen to. The ballads, in particular, are gorgeous. “You Complete Me” is a track that says what every man, whether he will admit it or not, wants to hear from his woman.” Chuck Dauphin – New Music Weekly "She looks and sounds every bit a star…" Phil Sweetland – Country Insider "Former Star Search competitor Lang has penned a tribute to the late Conway Twitty…and she really knows how to belt it!" Robert K. Oermann – Music Row Magazine “It's About Time, isn't just the name of her album, it is also what music fans around the world will be saying after they hear it. Lang has more than enough vocal acuity and beauty to completely captivate an audience -- in fact, her eyes alone are probably enough to do that -- the rest is just a bonus. Encore!” CHH – CountryStarsOnline.com I really appreciated [Kelly’s] ability to sing sincere and genuine country songs. I’ll be playing her album a lot. Frank Willson – Remo Ricaldone, Italy |

”Kelly Lang says that sometimes the best blessings come when you least expect them. Never truer words when spoken about Kelly Lang’s #1 single, “Down On My Knees” which topped the Christian charts in January on the well-respected “Power Source Top 20.” Jackie – Power Source Magazine “Hi from Australia, Just wanted to tell you that I am very proud to play Kelly's CD. I get heaps of requests on the Friday night show. Traditional Country is hitting back in a mighty big way over here. God Bless and thanks for the great music.” Beth Brown, QBN FM96.7 My Kinda Country – Queanbeyan, Australia “I am spinning her music as much as I can because I feel the album is really great and she is one of the most wonderful voices I've ever heard” Rafel Corbi – ECMA Spain “I received Kelly's CD and I absolutely adored it, so delicate, so soulful, great!!! I look forward to meeting her in person while she is in Europe in the fall.” Max Cooper – RVM 104.6 FM Morteau, France |
"10 out of 10. Here’s one of the
best new country female albums to arise in my review box for a while. It is
true-blue country yet fashionably rich-in-sound. These great story songs are
‘easy-listening’ gentle balladeering repertoire with a sharp cutting-edge. New
to me, Kelly’s style is characteristically hers. She is a winsome natural, her
starting point is to use her music to communicate the reality of life’s
struggles with directness and clarity, evident in descriptive lyrics. She is
without doubt a country balladeer of the first order to watch. This MOR set is a
testament to a talent that will become highly loved. This is an endeavor that
deserves praise with its well-selected repertoire. What surprises me is that
other artists have not, it seems, picked up the use of her repertoire."

It's About Time, a new
album by the multi-talented Kelly Lang, displays a depth of passion that is most
often associated with only legendary singers. Her voice reflects country music
in one of its most beautiful, simple, yet eloquent, forms. An accomplished
artist -- in music and painting -- her more than capable songwriting ability is
aptly demonstrated in this album. She wrote or co-wrote nine of the twelve songs
on the album. Although all of the songs are good, my favorite ones are "You
Complete Me" and the moving "Looking Down." "You Complete Me" is a simple ode to
love and although the impact is subtle, it still has the kick of an emotional
mule. Anyone who has ever been in love will recognize the feelings as Lang
serenades the romantic in all of us.
"Looking Down," although equally beautiful, is really tough to listen to if you,
or someone close to you, is a parent who has lost a spouse. In the song a child
draws a picture, sticks it on the fridge and says, "Mama come and see there you
are holding my hand and there's our puppy playing in the sand. And that's our
house and my swing in the tree and if you look real close you can see Daddy --
looking down from the big blue sky, he's looking down, watching over you and I.
Mama don't you cry." As sad as those words sound, the message of this song is
uplifting and provides a profound lesson about faith, simply illustrated by a
child's crayons. Brilliantly written, and masterfully sung, by Lang. It's
About Time, isn't just the name of her album, it is also what music fans
will be saying from coast to coast, and around the world, after they hear it.
Twelve songs for boot-scootin' and boo-hooin'. Life set to music - accurately
encapsulating the ups and downs of it. Lang has more than enough vocal acuity
and beauty to completely captivate an audience -- in fact, her eyes alone are
probably enough to do that -- the rest is just a bonus. Encore!
