The South Carolina-born (and now East Nashville-based), Hannah Wicklund may only be 21 years old but this young lady is a seasoned powerhouse musician who can jam with the best of them. As she proves along with her band, which she formed as an eight-year-old, The Steppin' Stones on their latest self titled release. To my ears there is not a weak track on this album. This new album can be played, from start to finish with no weaknesses in any of the songs, as they all seem to build off the energy of the previous songs. Highlighted by tracks like, "Bomb Through The Breeze", "Ghost", "Mama Said", the energetic mover, "Too Close To You" and bluesy swagger of, "Meet You Again". If you like blues, soul mixed with a dash of rock and roll attitude, you will dig what Hannah Wicklund brings to the table. This girl's talent is incredible and her songs come from a heart that you would think to be much older. The bottom line here is this album is tight and fun to listen to, since Hannah Wicklund has a wide range of styles that are delightfully brought forth on this latest offering. I have to agree with Joe Bonamassa one hundred percent when he said, "She may be small, but she has a voice that can crash through a concrete building." Mr. Bonamassa got it right, not only can this young lady sing, she is also an amazing guitarist. Hannah Wicklund will definitely be one to watch for in the years to come. You go girl!! -Tony @ The Dedicated Rocker Society
