Smother.net says: “Her music is a marriage of gospel, country, soul, and
roots rock. And it is beautiful. Her vocals are well trained and focus on creating full fledged harmony.
The songs are well written, masterful looks at country and soul and their common bridge.
Cashbox Magazine"...Every so often, in time, a different sound bursts on to the
music scene. This is one of those times. The magical sounds of PETRELLA...hypnotizing us over weaving rhythm &
blues horns. Country joins souls"
www.rambles.net says
"The FIrst Lady of Country Soul, as she has been called, is the right handle for her type of music. The songs and
style she shares are country, soul and country-soul. Her voice is deep, earthy, dripping with character that fills every
song with pure Petrella, without apology.
Petrella has five CD nationally distributed albums including "Countryversial"
(1993) "Papa Did A Raindance" (2001), "Home for the Holidays" (Christmas Album 2003), "Walk Around
Heaven" (Gospel 2004) and the brand new "DREAMS OF THE HEARTLAND" (2005). These are available through
The Orchard, CD Baby, and FYE. The albums are also available at all Hastings Music and Video Centers.
