". . . And I Am the Song of the Drunkards, like a Townes Van Zandt or Van Morrison record, the music is raw, honest, and full of soul."
-Matt Carr, Washingtonian Magazine
"Ladies and gentlemen, Justin Jones is a Great Singer. Jones wails, and croons his way through love and heartache, good times and bad. Open, heart-bearing songs that feel comfortable and familiar, like old friends you haven't seen for years. The album is first-rate from start to finish. "
-Megan Petty, bigyawn.net
"It's tough to tell when Jones is just messing with you, but as soon as he picks up a guitar, he's genuine as they come. Sarcasm melts away to reveal an individual who doesn't gloss over his personal failures. Which might amount to belly-aching if it weren't for Jones' staggering talent."
-Abby Lavin, DCist
