"AMERICANA THE WAY IT WAS AND THE WAY IT SHOULD BE"
"His vocal sound-- a touch of Haggard here and a smear of Willie there-- is wonderfully dated, old Opry and much the better for it. His original songs, such as Jackknife and Reputation, sound like old friends."
Fred Dellar, MOJO MAGAZINE August 2007
 
"It wouldn't take the 'Perfect World' Jon Byrd sings about with such wistful, regretful finesse on this disc for more people to know him as the terrifically accomplished, versatile country singer he is."  
Barry Mazor, NO DEPRESSION May/June 2007
 
"The surprise of the listening session was JON BYRD. His CD shows it's time for him to step out of the shadows and as a sideman. A well-deserved DISCovery Award." 
Robert K. Oermann, Music Row Magazine June 2007

"Even in the rootsy arena of country musicians full of reverence for the genre's past, crafting new music doesn't have to be a regurgitation of worn clichés. On his debut, Jon Byrd proves it. A stunning country album that's as traditional and timeless as they come."
Hal Horowitz, Georgia Music Magazine - August 2007
