CRITIC REVIEWS

NME

The Durand Jones & The Indications frontman's solo venture is a deeply personal one, detailing the Southern Black experience in his Louisiana hometown.

PopMatters

Braiding stirring songwriting prowess and beautiful vocals, Durand Jones has created one of the most assured and brightest debut albums in quite some time.

Classic Rock

This is simply stunning.

AllMusic

Seemingly posed as a promise and a threat, Wait Til I Get Over is a striking and poignant deviation.

I listened to the opening line of Gerri Marie in choosing this album and was blown away by the vocals - it's truly stunning at times on this song. I’m delighted that I wasn’t tricked into a stinker with a great first 5 seconds. His voice is simply breath taking and the main enjoyment throughout the album.
