All The Talk:

“..she transcends [him] Neil Young by transforming her multitracked voice into a one-woman Crosby,Stills,Nash. Someone find this woman a record company-fast.”

Jeffrey Morgan’s Media Blackout-The Metro Times-Detroit (07/07)

“Ryan’s confident voice and straightforward rootsy songs are the balm for what ails you. And with songs like the swaggering “Souls and Shoes” you’ll find yourself recovered, up and dancing in record time”.

Eye Weekly-Toronto (06/07)

“Grainne Ryan may be compared to Lucinda Williams a bit for her brand of alt.country/No Depression but I also hear a bit of Jonatha Brooks… In a better world “Brace Yourself” along with songs such as ‘Tree Frog’, ‘What You Are To Me’ and ‘Unfold’ would be getting a lot of airplay and the musicianship of her band would be celebrated around the world”.

John Book - Music for America (06/07)

“Bet all your money and buy this wonderful sounding debut at once”.

Leo Katestaart -Altcountry. NL - The Netherlands (04/07)

“A pure voice, perhaps a little reminiscent of Sarah McLachlan … one to watch.”

Kerry Doole -Tandem Magazine (05/07)

“..she is not only a great lyricist, but also an extremely gifted vocalist. ‘All The Money’ is an intimate masterpiece played with passion and pleasure. … Conclusion: an absolute must for those who melt listening to Aimee Mann, Lucinda Williams, Sarah Harmer…."

Freddy Celis - Roots Time - Belgium (04/07)
