“..that first note got my attention...Not until that first line...a lyric that although I only heard it that one time, has stuck with me since. “I’d rather be messed up than pretty...just like this city”. .. Her voice was flawless. Just the perfect combination of grit and perfect pitch. Passion dripping from every word... By the time she wrapped up her set, Three Muses was packed. I felt as if I had stumbled into some private showcase I should not have been privy to. How could I have just experienced such a great musician that effortlessly? I guess it was my lucky day. Ladies and gents, let me introduce to you... Ms. Lynn Drury. http://www.lynndrury.com Her CD, “Sugar On The Floor” has a track that I listen to over and over again. Blue Streak. Track number 7. You can thank me later. Don’t take my word for it. Go and check her out yourself. Get a CD. Like her on Facebook. I am letting you in on my remarkable discovery!”

— Amy Venezia, The Dbl Standard

“Americana-rocker Lynn Drury played the Louis-Louis stage at French Quarter Fest on Friday with a set that focused on tracks from her latest album, 2011’s “Sugar On The Floor" and showcased a supporting cast featuring Alex McMurray & Bill Malchow. Drury, a Mississippi native, has been around New Orleans for a minute, playing solo and accompanied by changing cast of bands. This was the first time I’d seen her live since the release of the new album; the new songs show incredible growth in Drury’s songcraft. It appears that with this album, the moving parts she’s been fiddling with have clicked into place.... “Sugar On The Floor” is definitely an exciting turning point in Drury’s career. More relevantly for today at the fest, hers was the first performance that made me simply lie down in the grass for the duration, feeling the sun and watching gulls and planes cut curves through the sky as the sounds washed over the crowd.”

— Alison Fensterstock, The Times Picayune

“Sugar on the Floor is Lynn Drury’s trump card. The talented New Orleans singer-songwriter has built a strong local following through her emotionally-charged live performances, but her strengths as a musician and songwriter haven’t been adequately captured on record until now. Part of the problem is that New Orleans is a difficult environment for songwriters. Maybe Drury’s career would have taken off sooner if she’d done the obvious thing and followed Lucinda Williams to Texas, where the latter was easily categorized on her way to stardom. But Drury is stubborn—an attractive quality in an artist—and insisted on sticking by her roots in Mississippi and Louisiana. The New Orleans music scene is all the better for Drury’s intransigence.

— John Swenson, Offbeat Magazine

“Lynn Drury's Sugar On The Floor brings back the best of the mid-1970s, when singer/songwriters created some great rock 'n' roll. Most of the songs on the album have a country twinge that complements Drury's vocals and melodies without distracting from them. Guitarist Tommy Malone contributes great understated leads on "Butterfly" and "Can't Hold On." Drummer Carlo Nuccio plays with just the right emphasis and tempo to let Drury's lyrics shine. Her voice comes across strong where it needs to and with a certain resignation and weariness appropriate to some songs' more troubled stories. The best tracks feature unvarnished tales of New Orleans nightlife. Songs like "City Life" (with its great refrain "Messed up is better than pretty") and "Frenchmen Street" (where, according to Drury, "All is forgiven") are anthemic in their spot-on portrayal of late-night antics in local bars. Some tunes are lighthearted, .....] (click link for full review)”

"Lynn Drury - All You Need (219 Records) handling an acoustic guitar as passionately and deftly as she rides her horses, this funky, soulful Americana gem from New Orleans is perfect road music for the soul."
