“The Sunset Canyoneers are here to remind us all what it’s like to be out on the road living as a free spirit in songs like High in the Sky.”
-American Songwriter
“Sunset Canyoneers somehow manage to be reminiscent of both Alex Chilton and Jerry Garcia while still being much indebted to country and folk, and it ends up being a remarkable formula that should make plenty of Year End Lists.”
-Take Effect
“Sunset Canyoneers sounds like a greatest hits album. The melodies are illuminated by Duke’s lush multi-tracked harmony vocals and the brash rock edge of Robertson’s sharp, focused electric guitar solos. Powers’ high tenor could be describing the delight of a sunny day, the buzz of controlled substances, or the freedom of life in the California countryside.”
-East Bay Express
“Consistently catchy melodies and hooks, 12-string flourishes, chugging riffs and poppy choruses, floating across the psychedelic strings-laced crystal clouds of Junk#1, hanging around in bars with ghosts on Spirits, conjuring some 60s California dreaming in Los Angeles and taking a 5D trip with McGuinn on Bluejay.”
-Folk Radio UK
“There’s a wholesomeness to the Sunset Canyoneers’ self-titled debut album. The band’s crisp choral singalongs are straight Nashville, making the album feel more like a harmonistic celebration and ode to the genre of Bakersfield Sound than something organically of it.”
