excerpt from Shmat Records (https://www.tradebit.com) review:
"The quick and easy route to describe Chris Wedertz''s music is Joni Mitchell meets Nick Drake. Ok, so that''s extremely lazy and probably unfair. But she has such a pretty lilting voice that turns and twists quite often, thus the Joni comparison. And all the songs revolve around some sort of sad, mellow and often picked acoustic guitar, hence the Nick Drake mention. But wait, aren''t those the types of comparisons that musicians like to get? Heck, I sure wouldn''t mind being compared to either of them!
...... beautiful, touching tunes that I think a good number of people would enjoy."

review excerpt from foxy digitalis (https://www.tradebit.com
"If you withheld the title and artist info from me the first time I put this in, and instead told me that this was a new solo record by Kendra Smith (ex of Dream Syndicate), I would''ve believed you and thought, hey, cool! Then if you told me ha ha, no, it''s really Rebecca Gates, I would''ve said "Huh, with mostly acoustic instruments, great idea!" But it''s neither of them, though, so stop messing with me. Silver Street is the work of Chris Wedertz, who can narrate her slow melodies with a sad alto betraying the same kind of puzzled engagement as the aforementioned Smith and Gates. ....
Wedertz shows herself to be a fine storyteller on "Innocence Just Kills You," coolly observing a family dynamic in varying stages of flux or breakdown or wonder or all three. On "Alive and Decaying" she compares the conflicts in a relationship to "plutonium sludge" best left behind, a sadly evocative image in a song that''s otherwise about as close as Wedertz gets to jaunty. More representative of the mood of the proceedings is the haunting "Noon," a twisty folk meditation on shifting imagery which despite its wanderings resolves into a hook you could hear Bob Mould worrying over (incongruous, but true, honest!)
This is Wedertz'' mission: paint a picture over a linear melody, but follow it down to a phrase (verbal or musical) that will take hold, or that will sting: "I''m thinking about how you''ll never catch up to the muse at the bottom of your cup...did I ever tell you you were a pain in the ass?" she dryly asks her antagonist (a wayward artist?) on "Silver Street."
....... well worth seeking out..."
