Finally, a singer-songwriter with the guts to breathe some life into an otherwise stagnant genre. Chilling chord progressions merge with haunting Buckley-esque vocals to create a new sound that’s deeply rooted in the finer moments of 70’s acoustica. This disk will absolutely stay in the CD changer… While Lanahan’s peers are sifting through David Gray’s coffee grinds looking for the essence of his brilliance, Lanahan is content to distill his own home brew. In the process, he’s creating his own genre, but will anyone else have the guts to join him? - Bob Frapples, Music Monthly

Baltimore-based singer/songwriter and guitarist Lawrence Lanahan leans toward intricately finger-picked melodies of a country-blues flavor, and it lends his self-titled debut CD EP a backwoods expanse. - Bret McCabe, Baltimore City Paper

"6 out of 10"...In just over 25 minutes Lawrence Lanahan delivers enough melodic and lyrical invention to suggest that a full-length album will be well worthy of investigation. - Peter Bate, Americana UK
