Mann released her second album, The Western Sky. One of its most irresistible tracks is called "Home." It begins with a warm, energetic fiddle and a country beat. It peaks with the chorus and its sweet harmonies.

The lyrics speak to Mann's idea of an idyllic place. "At night 'round the table we will sit," she sings. "And on ice tea we'll sip, as we talk about our days."

Camden and the music of Whitney Mann are about finding a place to belong, even if that place is only in your mind. "Oh, it will be all right," sings Mann in the chorus of "Home." "Oh, it will be just fine. Nothing feels as right as home."

“Mann's emotionally rich soprano sound[s] so doggone sweet amid all the sadness and resignation of which she sings.” –

"The Way Back Home shines with soul and sass, reminiscent of Jenny Lewis and Kasey Chambers. Mann drapes her bittersweet lyrics with sticky tenderness and wails like a woman scorned but proud. Her singing is wonderfully expressive, sometimes smoky and sometimes high-strung and bent with bluesy insistence." -

“Madison alt-country songstress Whitney Mann has established herself as a smart songwriter with a crystalline voice on 2009's splendid The Way Back Home EP” -

"a gorgeous country vocal and strong melodies with a healthy dose of pedal steel to complete the package...Whitney is firmly in the "one to watch" category" #5 on the Best of 2010 EPs -

"her biggest asset, her voice, which has echoes of Dolly Parton and Kasey Chambers and even occasionally the cracked regret of Tim Hardin, is utterly convincing... her melodies are to die for and she looks set to be one of the major names on the Americana scene."
