Texas Music Times Review

"The man with one of the most distinctive and unique voices in all of Americana
music has truly taken his art to the next level with his new release Roses are
Black. Austin Collins has proven on this sophomore record that he is one of the
most talented songwriters and performers in Texas and Americana music. The
record is, in a word … fantastic."

way it is supposed to." (02/27/08)

Captain's Dead Review

"It's a great chill out, drinkin' on the back/front porch in the middle of a
summer day kinda record." (04/29/08)

Fine Line Live Review

"…gritty, thoughtful, instrumentally driven album, chock full of
thought-provoking lyrics and pleasing melodies." (02/29/08)

Dallas Observer Review

"Produced by Will Johnson, the album is not nearly as pessimistic as the title
might suggest and is a godsend for those craving the golden alt-country days of
Slobberbone and Uncle Tupelo." (04/06/08)

Lone Star Music Magazine Review

"Roses are Black bracingly gives Austin Collins fans what they have patiently
been awaiting… It is the true grit of his songwriting and the intensity behind
his voice that leaves me listening in awe throughout the entire album."
(February/March '08)

Waldo's Views Review

"This is Austin's sophmore album and he has truely taken it to the next level.
Austin has proven to be a great songwriter and one of the most under-rated in
Texas." (04/01/08)
