Cruel & Unusual by Jayson Bales is one of the must-have CDs of the year. Im talking all CDs put out by all people on planet earth during its most recent revolution around the sun. Blair Lovern TexasGigs.com
The release of Cruel & Unusual marks a milestone for Mr. Bales. It traipses around the musical map. Its dark, moody, power pop and brooding rock with a slight country flavor and sardonic lyrics.
Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News
Jayson Bales is a talented artistYoull be hearing lots more about this great new album (Cruel & Unusual) soon. FineLineLive.com
A damn fine songwriter. His style is much like early Robert Keen. I can readily recommend Jayson.
Dave Oberman, KUT/NPR Radio Austin
Folk-rock has a promising new voice in Dallas. Singer-songwriter Jayson Bales merges pensive lyrics, plenty of catchy hooks and an airy, energetic and organic sound. Mr. Bales and his musical mates charm an audience with good, old-fashioned presence and chops. BELO National News Networks
Bales has worked hard at his craft. His country-based-but-twangless story songs-sometimes melancholy, sometimes rocking-are solid too. He deserves a big audience. Tom Geddie Buddy Magazine
He displays a literary deftness with his story-songs that few songwriters today possess let alone attempt. The song El Capitan de Galveston is one of the best Ive heard this year. Rockzillaworld Music Reviews
His writing sets him apart from fellow Texas musicians. Chip Chandler, Amarillo Globe News
The music is tight and focused, Bales vocals are strong and confident and the songwriting shows an inspired artist working at the top of his form. J. Poet
