(Ten Thousand Years) is an intimate alt-folk slow burn, and Rae’s dusky, lilting alto—inescapably reminiscent of Joni Mitchell or Cat Power—is a perfect aesthetic fit. - Charleston Magazine

'Sam Rae is tough love. Sam Rae is the final gust that pushes the boat over the wave.' - American Songwriter

'Sam Rae's first two, 2014′s instrumental, improvised Stories From the Marrow and 2017′s heady Bring Us to New Islands, are drastically different than Years, a bonafide, lyrics-forward folk record born out of Rae’s experience as part of Brandi Carlile’s touring band. Carlile’s tour bus and band members provided Rae with an atmosphere to reflect and write, and as it turns out, Sam Rae had a lot to say.' - Interview with Jordan Mainzer
