WBFO 88.5 - 97 Rock D.J. Yvonne Schmidt's CD "Nothing But Blue" is a gutsy and authentic blues record which every music enthusiast should check out! From the lead track "Get You Back" an instant catchy radio song, to her version of Janis Joplin's "Turtle Blues" this disc is a home run! Yvonne gives Bonnie Raitt a run for her money with the sexy, laid back, "Mighty Tight Woman" and does Muddy Waters proud with "Mean Mistreater". Make no mistake, this record rocks! Once you hear "Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda" you'll be singing it for the rest of the day with it's infectious hook and country kick! From start to finish, you get a wonderfully produced CD of great songs performed by a true Buffalo Talent!  ~ Anita West POP Magazine "Yvonne Schmidt has proven that Buffalo has a lot to offer to the music industry with her debut album, 'Nothing But Blue.' Listening to this album, you can hear how Yvonne adds a nice twist to the blues by incorporating her own sense of style. Although I definitely recommend getting your hands on a copy of the album, you can't fully appreciate Yvonne's powerful voice until you hear her live. Yvonne's been performing in Buffalo clubs for years, so if you get a chance, go see her!" The Buffalo News GUSTO "Yvonne Schmidt has knocked my socks off with her debut solo effort, "Nothing But Blue," a demo that has been haunting my CD player for weeks. Produced by Tom Hambridge, the album places Schmidt front and center, which is where she belongs. A vibrant, powerful singer, Schmidt belts the blues with moral and musical authority. Not surprising, considering the fact that she's been doing just that in Buffalo clubs for years. No lie; this stuff is of an international caliber and would be quite at home on a major blues label like, say, Alligator." Blues Beat "A very classy reception was held at Sessions Studio on Amherst Street, which included a live performance of a debut CD. Tell you right now, your heart and soul will be satisfied when you get a listen to Yvonne Schmidt's newest call "Nothing But Blue." The songs were from the album, and it's full of fire and heat. Yvonne provided the confident and sinewy vocal ignition to the band's concentrated flame. Tom Hambridge produced this one, as well as Susan Tedeschi's well received "Just Won't Burn." Buffalo songwriters, John Brady and Phil Dillon, contributed outstanding music and lyrics. And what a band, composed of some of the area's finest, was up there! Doug Morgano and Mark Winsick on guitars, Kevin Murphy on keys, Willie Schoelkopf and John Brady doing backup vocals, with Mike Phelps on drums and Jim Witford on bass. You can't get much better than that." ARTVOICE "Superb R@B vocalist Yvonne Schmidt and Mark Winsick Band performed at nouveau Sessions Studios on Amherst Street near Grant on November 15th, a live performance of material from her debut CD 'Nothing But Blue.'"
