DON HENLEY:“Jeffrey Foucault… clocks modern culture about as good as I’ve ever heard anybody clock it”
THE NEW YORKER:“Jeffrey Foucault sings stark, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest”
MOJO:“Songwriting brilliance”
THE IRISH TIMES:“Quietly brilliant”
UNCUT:“The music of Wisconsin native Foucault is the kind so many aspire to but never attain: beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection”
