“Sweetly simple, yet achingly sincere, Swardson has mastered the art of tugging at the listener’s heartstrings while maintaining a masculine stride. It’s a tricky balance between soft and hard, sweet and strong, but Swardson seems to walk the line with ease.”
- Andrea Swensson, music critic and rock author

“Swardson’s gorgeous, soul-soothing batch of back-parlor picking, devil-may-care ditties, and high lonesome, love-lost-to-the-trail tales...wiht dribbles of Eddie Vedder’s laconic delivery, shooters of Gram Parsons’s ancient soul-wisdom, and the genius-laden, inebriated schoolroom rowdiness of Robert Polard.” - Tom Hallet, Music Critic
