Sounds Like: Praise for Kasey Anderson
"<[i>The Reckoning] delivers on the promise of 2004's Eric Ambel-produced Dead Roses -- and then some. A versatile and confident songwriter and singer, Anderson nails these hard-luck tales with grit and gumption."
No Depression
"[Anderson is] a literate working man’s poet... and songs like “Don’t Look Back†and “For St. Ann’s†are surrealistic, visionary ballads..."
Paste

Performer Magazine
"The Reckoning is a masterpiece."
Tone

The Albany Times Union
"The Reckoning is - quite simply - stunning."
The Portland Tribune
