REVIEWS REGARDING "THE LEXINGTON STRETCH"
"The Lexington Stretch has an almost nostalgic vibe to it, maybe because it’s a reminder of what we really look for in music – the human touch. Every song sounds the way you might expect it to sound if you were sitting in a club, watching a live performance....The Lexington Stretch is, above all, an earthy album – one that gets into your ears and under your skin. I think The Jorgensens hit their target."
-Bert Saraco
"Totally engaging throughout, this pair is going to be making more than noise along the way as they spread their joyful noise."

"There are new music releases every day that sound distinctly of their time, fitting for the cultural moment into which they are born. Then there’s the music that gives listeners pause, songs that sound hauntingly familiar and yet like nothing you’ve heard—at least not lately. This is where The Jorgensens come into play."

"As I listened to each of the songs for the first time, I kept thinking, "“Mmm, that’s good,”" and then, when you listen another time or two you get a real appreciation of how good they really are....This is seriously good music, to be enjoyed by anyone who loves blues or Americana. The Jorgensens are a band that I hope we will hear much, much more from in the future. Go get yourself a copy."

"Blues and Americana enthusiasts will love this album. The recording quality is top-shelf as is the musicianship, songwriting, and vocals launching the well-written songs on “The Lexington Stretch” – all, of which, are originals with the exception of the Willie Dixon tune, “If the Sea Was Whiskey” (Kurt has been a Dixon fan since the age of 15)."

REVIEWS REGARDING THE SINGLE "STORYVILLE"
"Now this, this is just wonderful. A slinky soulful song by Kurt Jorgensen and Brianna Tagg-Jorgensen from their forthcoming album ‘The Lexington Stretch‘, out on September 14th. If there’s any more like this one it (and there will be we’re sure), it’ll be an essential acquisition."
