“The album is an important showcase of a slice of history, and ought to be part of the annals of history.” --Americana Highways (Elise Cady)
“That’s what makes this very special, the combination of her guitar playing, and the way she fills the words and stories with a deep seated love that comes across in every groove.” --Rocking Magpie
Most impressive is Foley’s compelling voice, always expressive even with the amps turned up to 10, but even more so here. --Rock & Blues Muse
Chicago Blues Guide
Just released, One Guitar Woman honors eight solo acoustic female guitarists. “These trailblazing women weren’t just playing the guitar, they were living it, pouring their souls into every note. Their stories are not just about music but about overcoming barriers, setting new standards and inspiring generations of players.”

Q – The first single is “Oh Babe It Ain’t No Lie," a song by Elizabeth Cotten. I understand that is one of your favorite songs to play on guitar.
Her guitar style is really fun to play as a guitar player. It's not easy to learn because it's a finger picking style.
It's technically challenging, but once you get it, it's really fun to play because you can do it by yourself. And it sounds like a full band. All these parts are going in tandem, the rhythm and the melody.
