"Gritty...strong tunesmithing and melodies. We have on this disc something of a musical movie.  The currently running 'The Wrestler comes to mind. It is in some way a window into the lives of the broken and misbegotten." Vermont Times Argus (Feb. 09) Art Edlestein

"This PA-based-singer-songwriter has a rapturously beguling vocal delivery that is instantly (if only slightly) reminiscent of both Dwight Yoakam and the late, great Townes Van Zandt, and an impressive grasp of what it takes to cross hard- scrabble, roots-country and neo-hillbilly with Byrds-ian power-pop....sweet and gritty at once."  Connect Savannah (May '09) Jim Reed

"He offers a vulnerable intimacy in his lyrics that many musicians claim to have but few master....Koons paints a scene with his singing that sends his audience wherever he wants them transport." Encore-Wilmington (NC) Shane Arthur (Jun. 09)

"Koons works the same hard-fought, wise and worn narrative forms as Steve Earle, John Prine, and Townes Van Zandt. Koons paints vivid portraits of people and places that make it through loneliness and loss, and emerge stronger and more alive for it." KDHX 88.1 St. Louis (July '09)

"This Nashville-based Pennsylvania native writes remarkably sensitive, wry, and tuneful country songs. 'New Boyfriend' prefectly encapsulates the feeling of seeing your ex with someone that is not you, and 'That's Not Me' is a sonic out-of-body experience looking at the drunken aftermath of such a sighting." Wilmington NC Star News (June '09)

"Koons has moments of trail weary brilliance that could console the grievous angel." Seven Days, Burlington VT (June '09) Dan Bolles
