This is the sound of someone bearing a torch. – Bill Callahan

Davis’ talents are immense: vivid imagery and clever one-liners pulling epiphanies from the sacred, mundane, and profane. – Jon Blistein (Rolling Stone)

Poignant, funny, profound, surprising… It belongs in everyone’s home. – Sam Sodomsky (Pitchfork)

Dancing on the Edge is singular and strong enough to put Davis in league with some of the very best American songwriters of the past and present. – Tyler Wilcox (Uncut)

Addictivley rewarding. A fine debut promising further greatness... – Mojo

Alt country feels like a wildly inadequate phrase. It’s a demonstration that there’s joy in all this messiness… – Danny Wright (The Quietus)

A positively glowing triumph… The rarest of beasts: an album where lyrical brilliance is backed by an equal devotion to open-eared musical adventurousness. – Janne Oinonen (The Line of Best Fit)

On the latest and perhaps greatest notch in the storied songwriter’s belt, Ryan Davis is tipping his beer to a world in moral and constitutional decline. – Chad DePasquale (Aquarium Drunkard)

Ryan Davis’ great debut as a titular band leader is one of the finest beard rock slabs of the century. – Byron Coley
