Chuck Arnold wrote in People, 2/6/06: "Fresh after James Blunt, another talented U.K. singer-songwriter, KT Tunstall, is set to make a splash across the big pond. Throughout her impressive debut, which brings to mind a bluesier Jewel or a folkier Bonnie Raitt, the Scottish native exhibits such natural-born rootsiness that you'll swear she's all Yankee. Released in November 2004 in the U.K., where it has sold more than 1 million copies, Eye to the Telescope puts the focus squarely on Tunstall in stripped-down settings that showcase her richly textured vocals. Her voice, at times sounding lived-in well beyond her 30 years, can be both earthy (on the funky foot-stomper 'Black Horse and the Cherry Tree") and ethereal (on the gently comforting ballad 'Heal Over'). Even though the album drags a bit in the second half, Tunstall is clearly going places."
An appealing album. Local angle: According to her website, KT attended the Kent School in CT.
