“Top 10 local albums of 2009: Rich Whiteley, Ruby Fizz: “Folk, country, rock and pop combine with an achingly sincere vocal that never overdoes it. Listen to this when the world seems crazy. It’ll bring back some perspective.””
Julie Garisto - Tampa Bay Times Soundcheck
“Dont let those easy-going grooves fool you. Ruby Fizz has plenty of punch beneath the surface...Words and music both sound honed to the absolute essentials. An excellent effort from one of Tampa's musical mainstays.
