Some reviews of "Yr Money Or Yr Life"...
"A dirty needle of delicious despondence shot through with rough, down-beat country. One hit will floor you for days. Overdose and you may slip into the Beauty Shop's murky world for good" (Slant)
"Bleak and beauteous, slowed and catchy songs of hum, strum and pep" (Time Out)
"Enchanting...one of the genre's most inspiring collectives" (Teletext)
"This could make you believe you are listening to country rock's answer to Leonard Cohen" (Rock Sound)
"Prowling through the darkest shadows of Americana, songwriter John Hoeffleur drawls his lyrics of bitterness, jealousy and downright orneriness over a battered acoustic and loping rhythm section...a solid debut (Mail On Sunday)
"With each of these tracks The Beauty Shop have hidden a piece of us" (www.bbc.co.uk)
"Blessed with a natural sense of timing and harmony...satisfyingly downbeat but melodic" (www.americana.co.uk)
