“With a distinctly strong voice that rings with nostalgia, Lizzy Ross diversely explores the realms of rock, country and soul. From beginning to end, Read Me Out Loud proves to be highly accessible, a well-crafted blend that draws listeners in with an easy-going hometown feel. “ – Elizabeth Byrum, Diversions, The Daily Tar Heel

“Folksy, jazzy, bluesy in all the best senses of those words, it’s like country music the way you wish country music would be… a voice like cigarettes and the smoothest whiskey you’ve ever tasted.” -Stephen Markley, Off the Markley, Chicago RedEye

 “The band that bears her name smartly puts the focus squarely upon Ross’ soothing songbird lilt, complementing her sassy and sultry duality with sophisticated, jazzy arrangements… and rock ‘n’ roll spirit. Ross’s songwriting is straight blues: Her originals are lovelorn narratives that burn with passion, delivered with sincerity that cuts deep.”  -Spencer Griffith, The Independent Weekly

 
“Rhythmic and periodically rootsy pop from a singer-songwriter perspective, presented with that rare blend of veteran confidence and rookie exuberance.”  – Rick Cornell, Freelance writer, No Depression, The Independent Weekly
