Reviews

Kings County Sound
– Mockingbird

“…By no means a full-on “worship” album, it incorporates that approach more successfully than anything in recent memory (High Street Hymns doesn’t count – a better touchstone might be Thad Cockrell’s excellent To Be Loved EP). The songs strike that rare tone of good testimony, witnessing clearly to God's grace/power while remaining deeply rooted in personal experience and feeling, without ever falling into singer-songwriter exhibitionism or prescriptive can-do back-patting. With their second full-length, Oklahoma-by-way-of-Texas-by-way-of-NYC duo The Magills have delivered a country-rock gospel record that feels both authentic and worshipful.…” Read the entire review
The Sting & The Honey
– Benjamin Colpitt (The AudioFile)

“All aboard!” It’s time for a ride on the country gospel train with southern-bred New Yorkers The Magills and their new album “The Sting and The Honey”. But don’t expect to barrel straight through the Dixieland soundscape without a few detours. Matt Magill’s songwriting takes the listener on an autobiographical journey of sonic twists and turns reflecting lessons learned and a light at the end of the tunnel. Joined by lovely wife and vocalist Megan, as well as a caboose full of renowned session players, The Magills are invigorating audiences around the country with equal parts charisma, faith and elbow grease. Saying “goodbye” to traditional, Christian-music stereotypes and giving thanks for God’s grace, this duo is bound for glory. “Tickets, please.”
Song x Song
– Albert Padula

“Matt Magill's new album Song x Song is home cooked Southern gospel-rock with a twist of blues. The beautiful production hits your sonic pallet like sweet tea, but don't let that fool you. Continue listening and you realize that this music is spiked with a strong shot of Pentecostal moonshine. Magill has pitched his revival tent in the gravel parking lot of the local honky-tonk where last-call meets alter-call. His well-wrought songs display strong notes of earthiness, but with Megan Magill's harmonies the music is distilled into clear notes of transcendence. So whether you are stopping by to take in some good grooves or drink in the Good News, either way you won't leave disappointed.”
