"Cody sings like a cagey fighter punches; he holds back, waits for his moment, and then explodes." -No Depression
"It's Cody's workmanlike guitar playing, soaring harmonies
and twang-tinged voice that carry the day.
When he sings on City of Destruction
that he's gonna build himself a future,
it seems a sure bet he's right"
-Performing Songwriter
