WIldy's World Review
Kati Mac is in the zone on Save Me From Myself, blending stellar songwriting, adept vocals and a wonderful compositional sense that draws the listener in and holds you in place. There a couple of songs here where she pushes her own vocal range with mixed results, but one the whole Save Me From Myself is a splendid effort.

Album Review Inside World Music posted a review of "Save Me From Myself". Read it here: http://insideworldmusic.blogspot.com/2012/08/cd-review-kati-macs-save-me-from-myself.html
Kati Mac is a New York-based singer/songwriter with a stunning resemblance to Shawn Colvin's emotive folk voice and guitar tunings with a little Trish Murphy angst. The alt-country-Western style of "Bullet Hole Road" cements Kati's mark on the world of upbeat, folk-country music with swooning dobro, earthy guitars, steady percussion, and raw vocals. "He's Memory To Me Now" is a candid and quaint little tune with Kati's vocals backed by her acoustic guitar with additional instrumentation. "Lord Have Mercy On Me" is a bluesy track with Southern guitar sounds and reverberating keys. Kati's emotive voice traverses a varied vocal range with an uppity instrumental arrangement featuring gritty guitars, B3 sounds, and percussion. "The Wheel Goes Round" is a folksy, Western ditty with backup vocals and classic country instrumentation of strings, piano, tambourine, and a Southern Revival ambiance without twangy vocals. "Cold Day In Hell" features a few horns and Broadway-esque instrumental arrangements with B3 sounds and crackling percussion. Overall, Kati's thirteen-track release is an excellent examination of the folk-rock-country genre that is not too heavy on rock, country, or blues. It is just good music. Fans of Trish Murphy, Shawn Colvin, and related artists will love it. ~ Matthew Forss

"It has been awhile since I have written about any music. Not because I haven't been listening, but because I have been incredibly busy. With no further ado, my next blog is on the lovely singer/songwriter Kati Mac.
Kati Mac has a voice that is soothing, and at the same time a little bit angry, on the album Save Me From Myself. My absolute favorite on this album is the song titled Bullet Hole Road. It is gritty, angry, sad, and a bit empowering. Kati is not new to the scene, but this album is different from others she has done, and I say BRAVO!

Review Notes:
Kati Mac is not like other musicians I have featured here at T & T Tunes. As many of you who have visited the site to hear the musicians that I do feature, many do not have that country kind of feel to the music. While many individuals do like that kind of thing, it has to be a really special artist for me to feature them and for me to actually get into the music. Here at T & T Tunes, I have the opportunity to feature many artists, but Kati Mac and her voice has really impressed me after listening to her music. When you listen to it you almost feel a rock feel to the music with a little country girl thrown in for good measure. it is not often I find an artist that can do that and do it well, but Kati Mac has done tat for sure!
