Reveiw of the album "E . . .at the 5th":

Good girls go to heaven, but bad ones just go anywhere. Probably, only a few really know in which bunch of chicks Wendy E. Mullen inscribes her name, but it’s sure that - with such a deep voice - she’s free to take many paths. On her side, she already made the choice. Blues it’s her love and E at the 5^th - last work from Late Summer Purple, the band led by this pure californian guitarist - is there to prove it. Slide it without fears in your cd player and you’ll be suddenly embraced by a various range of emotions. Wem (that’s how she likes to shorten her name) will get in your house (or car) walking barefoot, but be aware it’ll be really hard to make as of nothing. Late Summer Purple’s blues sounds close to tradition, but distant enough from that noisy mess sadly popular in too many live clubs lately. Tunes like Balance, and a genuine rendition of Willie Dixon’s Little Baby, counts amongst the ten tracks on the album to blow away every possible doubt. To be completely sincere, nothing to be so surprised, knowing who’s on Wem’s idols list. Guitar heros with a heart, like Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, who are paid a sincere tribute in E at the 5^th, by a rocking (Ronnie) Play For Me and a melodic cover of Sway. Wendy’s list then goes on with Robert Johnson and Walter Jacobs, inspirational muses for Late Summer Purple’s versions of Hell Hound Blues and You Don’t Love Me. If asked for a famous name to symbolize Wem vocals, go for Sheryl Crow and you’ll not miss, but please forget that MTV hottie lately waving her butt oceanside. It’s to her first attempts (like Tuesday Night Music Club) that Wendy surely looked and, we’d like to go further, it’s not casual that Ms. Crow's path crossed Rolling Stones one in the last years. About Wem’s behaving while caressing guitar strings and the rest of the band (Don Mills on lead guitar, Byron Pimms on bass, Merwin Kato on drums, Tab Tabscott on slide guitar, Murl Sanders on organ, Don Dieterich on percussions and Tim Sherman as a special guest), we could go nowhere but quoting “The human riff” himself: “Simple things are the hardest to do”. Late Summer Purple, for sure, know how to do them in a satisfying way. Buy this record if you’re a blues fan, attend their concerts if they hit your area and allow  ’em playing live if you’re a promoter.

Review of the album "Looking For My Kind":

"This is a sexy collection of songs, vibrant and emotionally persuasive. . .I have listened to  the  exquisite setting of “The Three Bushes” (by W.B.Yeats) over and over again. I am now haunted by its instrumental colorings, its insistent rhythms, and its sensuous melodic line. The  handling of the refrain,  its echoes, and its echoing of echoes,  is dramatically effective and, in my  opinion, a perfect interpretation of the poem and the  oboe has the right mournful tone. Wendy’s  setting is  a significant artistic achievement, and  her  voluptuous singing is worthy of her  composition.   WOW!”
