“Butch Reynolds is a back to the future renaissance man. Drawing on the sound and songwriting of 70’s and 80’s pop artists from Elvis Costello to Steely Dan, Butch picks and pulls at whatever influence suits the song to create a fresh new sound and wild variation from track to track that defies genre.”
“‘Left to My Own Devices’ is a droll, rockabilly tinged shuffle with B-bender suspense and accordion. Reynolds and the band pull off a musical replication of a night on the town in “Left to My Own Devices” and the album is pure crafted delight.”
“‘Left to My Own Devices’ is underpinned by a rockabilly American shuffle feel. The acoustic guitar and accordion solo add to the atmosphere. There is a sense of humor in Reynolds delivery of the melody and the lyrics. Royster’s mix and recording process makes enjoying all the subtleties of the various instruments and Reynolds’ singing easy and pleasant to listen to and follow. His wit a wry is abounds as he illustrates the irony of life wrapped in a package of human strife and the illusion of perseverance. His lyric stick to the bone and rattles the senses. That’s the short of it!”
