“Matthew James Lyons has an absolutely wonderful and expressive voice and his new song is a perfect vehicle for it. Rootsy and rockin'. Go there. This guy is real good.” - Stuart Coupe, 2026

“Each song [holds you] to the end … not just songs but stories of joy, sadness and dreams that reach out and put an arm around your shoulder.” - David Harrod (singer-songwriter), 2021

“Something about the chromatic chord structure of this song really connects with me. Fans of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will find a lot to like in Lyons’ style here. This one feels like it’s from another time in the best way possible.” - Greg Jones (Ear to the Ground), 2021
