”...a masterly crafted blend of today’s sound and yesterday’s emotion, quite possibly the evolution of independent artists.”
- The Reaper, Harvest Reaper Promotions
”...just a great all around sound.”
- J & J Productions Chattanooga
“Ethereal is a big step forward from 2002’s Shades of Grey. Jason’s songs have become more distinctive, playful, and emotive. I can’t help but be reminded of Steve Miller…who strings together simple riffs sprinkled with psychedelia and modest orchestration to make catchy, hook-filled tracks. It’s the kind of record you can nod along to absent-mindedly without realizing you’ll be humming the tunes to yourself a little while later.”
- Ted Reynolds, Chattanooga Pulse Magazine
“By far one of the more talented people we’ve had in the studio in quite a while.”
- Boner, Rock 105
“When I first saw Jason Lyles with his curly locks and calm demeanor, I was afraid he was going to be yet another John Mayer Jr. However, The Jason Lyles Band is a pleasant mix of raw Southern rock and upbeat pop. ...And unlike John Mayer, Jason Lyles masters sincere and sensitive without being sappy.”
