"In the great tradition of US guitar bands Chris Buskey And The Lonesome Plains offer memorable melodies and intoxicating hooks all driven by layer upon layer of harmonic driven guitar pop that is instantly appealing . . . well worth tracking down."  - Del Day, Americana-UK

"Buskey writes songs that grab at the throat, heart, and soul. A classic! - "
κκκκ" - Rootstime Belgium

"Buskey's melodies pour out with folksy ease, his memorable choruses invite singing along, and his lyrics are smart without being show-offy--there's not a bum line on this disc." - Brian LaRue, The New Haven Advocate

" The record is stellar, with a dusty alt-country sound that feels more like twangy folk than roots rock." - Pat Ferrucci, The New Haven Register

"Gentle songs of wistful longing and uncomfortable self- reflection ("I'll Be Your Judas"), city lights as a metaphor for fading dreams ("Willow Street Green," "Porchlight") and nature as symbolic of freedom or at least a change from modern despairs" -Christopher Arnott, The New Haven Advocate

"A well-crafted collection of Americana/alt-country songs with a road-worn vibe that calls to mind riding down a flat stretch of two-lane asphalt that stretches straight to the horizon. . . . these dozen songs dig in with gentle understatement. " - Eric Danton, The Hartford Courant
