Godless land (2020 on Vizztone)
“‘Godless Land’ is a tour de force of blues, Jazz and Americana, often covering timely issues. Since their inception vocalist Lemons has been consistently fine, their anchor. On “Godless Land” vocalist Berkowitz emerges with his finest performances. Andersen’s outstanding production results in one of the best contemporary blues albums of the year.”

Blind Spot (2018 on Dirty Cat Records)
An ANTIDOTE to the multitude of emotionally vacant singers, Cathy Lemons sounds genuinely wise, gritty, tender, wounded, and flirtatious, sometimes all at once. Fortunate to have harmonica champ Phil Berkowitz as her partner in songwriting and singing, she crystallizes her creative resolve to put across a program of smart, likeable originals, that sport winning riffs.

In Any Town (2017 on Dirty Cat Records)
A lot of singers have had the mantle put on them but Cathy Lemons really sounds like she should/could be Bonnie Raitt’s long lost duet partner she never sang with. Not unleashing all their goods on their impressive debut, the Losers are back with a dark end of the street sounding set that fuses contemporary blues and soul into the tastiest mix you could hope to find.

A Winning Hand
“Joining their voices for the first time on disc, San Franciscans Cathy Lemons and Phil Berkowitz have come up with a winning formula in a band they call “The Lucky Losers.” Their harmonies are particularly fine … (Lemons’) swinging “Suicide by Love” … features her singing along in the unique conversational manner that helps set her apart from other vocalists performing today….Berkowitz blows outstanding harmonica solos throughout.”

Black Crow
“She's lived a hard life, and the singing on her first solo album in many years lends credence to the typically suspect supposition that misfortune is a prerequisite for creating superior blues. Lemons both salves the scars of the past and celebrates new feelings of freedom."
