Style
Baskery was initially compared with the Dixie Chicks, Roches and the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, preferably, however, after some initial cover versions now have their own songs, which help the group in conjunction with the acoustic instrumentation and often three-voice singing a distinctive sound. Mojo described their performances as " absolutely wonderful ... They play their own style with enthusiasm recognizable, coupled with a not small to be estimated virtuosity and great temperament, is irresistible ."
