about

Here are some reviews of my music.

Here's one by a famous folk musician:

Amidst the flood of new singer-songwriters out there, every once in a great while someone makes me stop and listen. I never miss a chance to hear another Lightning Lucas song. You shouldn’t either.”
-John McCutcheon

And a bunch by normal people:

Such verve! -Jinny Batterson. Cary, NC

Skilled lyricist, evocative voice, talent. Reminds me of Bright Eyes... but better. -Linda Erday, Greensboro, NC

Totally original voice and lyrics. Blew me away.
-Steve Metzger, Chico, CA

...Brilliant. -Hali Hammer, Berkeley, CA

...Spoke to my condition, to use a Quaker expression
-Meg Skinner, Madison, WI

Your songs are terrific- you come through from unexpected angles, and the surprise is always refreshing...
I'm always ready to come back for more.
-Steve Edmunds- Berkeley, CA

He sounds like Bob Dylan. That can't be bad.
-Catsy Fairlee, Catatti, CA

He sounds better than Bob Dylan, and his songs are genius.
-Kate Canan, Grassvalley, CA

You have a crazy, irreverant and very original ear and turn of phrase...
I look forward to hearing more.
-Doug Hendren, Shenandoah Valley, VA

Your songs are original and your delivery is compelling. Your perspective is so fresh and moving. I wish you all the success and happiness you can handle.
-John L. McGee, Lagrange, GA
