    Mr. Jukebox ain’t broke. In fact, it’s as pure a country record as any you’ll hear, one that comes from the smooth gospel-tinged side of the genre more than the hardcore twang side.

    [An] impressive debut that at only 10 tracks and barely a half hour leaves you wanting more.

    Pedal steel and fiddle waltz around a crystal-clear baritone on a succession of laments to hillbilly heartbreak that ooze class from every pore. [Jun 2018, p.28]

    He constructs ten sturdy songs that give Mr. Jukebox the foundation to be something more than nostalgia. By exceeding so well in his craft, Hedley makes the old sounds feel new again.

    Authentic and pure, the music swells with both cinematic richness and snappy, foot-stomping adrenaline that hearkens back to the sweet 1960s and '70s sounds of yesteryear. As a writer and vocalist, Hedley also delivers lived-in authenticity.

    Hedley makes no apology for his love of country's golden age, ad where naysayers might cry "pastiche," plenty more will be happy kicking up their heels on the hayride. [May 2018, p.91]
