"The Latimers are able to offer up a lovely, shimmering example of seductive Americana, emphasizing a sound that soothes, seduces and shines. It’s all but impossible to walk away feeling anything but enchanted."

"Lucky Stars is a gorgeous debut from some of Canada’s top roots musicians who are putting a fresh spin on traditional Americana music."

"Keri's gorgeous, sweet voice is accompanied by her own acoustic guitar and theremin, Devin's bass, and Steve Dawson on almost everything else."

"The group describes their latest record as '...A soundtrack for the modern cowboy-part Canadian trucker, part Manitoba Motown.' "

"This album, Lucky Stars, is just about as delightful as anything I’ve heard this year."

"This is ear candy from first track to last"

"Husband-and-wife tandem Keri and Devin Latimer spent the early part of the millennium in indie folk outfit Nathan, earning plenty of acclaim in their native Canada and winning the 2008 Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for best roots traditional album. They’ve formed a new band, Leaf Rapids, and their “Lucky Stars” debut is a twangy delight from beginning to end."

"Their sound resembles the Canadian grasslands, as beautiful as they are harsh, taking notes from Canada’s soft tones and tough seasons."

"The songs are dreamy and haunting and drenched in aching pedal steel and several doses of the theramin that certainly give the songs an eerie quality that underlines their other worldliness."
