Album Of The Week

"Jay Byrd's lyrics are short stories set to music and the whole thing is simple, sonorous and subtle."

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"Jay Byrd makes his album debut with a collection of his own songs that stands well in the americana crowd. Byrd is a great guitarist and has a great voice. Most of the album's songs are slow, but it never gets monotonous. 'Losers Like Me' is the album's best track."

- Lars Svensson / Rootsy -

"Jay Byrd has been a professional guitarist, singer, and songwriter since his late teens. In his early 20's, he co-founded the blues rock trio The Groov with Kerry Brooks, and in 1996 joined the then Grateful Dead cover band Wavy Train. Byrd’s original songs and guitar work helped Wavy Train to forge a sound that combined pop oriented melodies with extended improvisation."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"There is a real elegance to Jay Byrd's 'At Home Again', a timeless quality and one of my favourite discoveries of the year so far. Highly recommended!"

- Paul McGee / Lonesome Highway -

"Jay Byrd's 'At Home Again' is a deeply personal and perceptive contemporary gentle country rock album."

- Alan Harrison / The Rocking Magpie -

"“Washinton DC artist Jay Byrd has released a 10 song solo album called 'At Home Again'. In a mix of folk, country and americana tracks we can enjoy excellently orchestrated self penned songs that he is singing with a great warm voice that is reminiscent of artists like Van Morrison and Jackson Browne.“
