| Vibe Magazine :
"...a stirring tribute to the emotions of any female slave who has ever walked the earth....THE COLOR OF DUSK is a tragic history set to appropriate, moving music..."
Dirty Linen :
"...Not since the discourse of Sojourner Truth was so effectively expressed in song by Sally Rogers...has there been such a perfect melding of words and music..."
Baltimore City Paper :
The Color of Dusk is at once the most high-minded and the most earthy of albums, a vivid setting of D.C.-based writer Dolores Kendrick ‘s poems documenting the experiences of African women coming to America and living in slavery. Producer/guitarist/percussionist Matthews deserves thanks and praise for bringing the project to light and drawing on African drumming and the blues to create spare and powerful pan-Diaspora music to carry Kendrick’s words.
Robert Farris Thompson, Yale University :
"It has all the right texture, all the right historical resonances and I loved it."
VH 1 :
"Truly riveting... an amazing album.."
The Atlanta Journal :
"Engaging and brilliantly executed."
