Scarlet Rivera Finds Her Voice
“Her presence of sound and spirit lifts this “Hurricane” into a higher realm. The reverence she has for the song and its songwriter shines in the purity and passion of her playing.”
Paul Zollo, American Songwriter
“I’ll be damned if she doesn’t sound like she’s even more fiery on this song than she was on the original Dylan version. She aged like wine. The clarity of her playing, the tone of her violin – she owns it.”
John Apice, Americana Highways
“Dylan gives his most dynamic performance of “Hurricane,” standing on the stage with his guitar, dead-serious, spitting out the lyrics, all the while staring at violinist Scarlet Rivera a few feet away. It’s their moment: maybe there was more going on between the pair after hours, but regardless, it’s electrifying. Upping the ante, it could be the most riveting five minutes I’ve ever seen in rock concert film/documentary.”
