“This interplay of themes and ideas makes Buckley’s songs sing out to intellectuals looking for poetry in lyrics. The structure of each song showcases the fine guitar work without making any individual solo an overbearing thing. The passion in the vocals drives each song through to its next riff. Another great line followed by a quick lick is, “I lived for each moment, and usually they’d explode all over you” in “It’s Been Fun.” The repeated idea, “maybe there’s more to come” fits right into the recurring metaphors of denial perfectly. That gift to relate music, art, and lyrics is what keeps me a fan of Buckley’s.”

“Bud Buckley isn't just another artist seeking fame, fortune, or glamour. On the contrary, Buckley speaks from the soul and performs from the heart. His music is honest and real and there is nothing fabricated about that. From one track to another, the listener is never bored. Buckley's work is sincere and passionate and what should be played on the radio these days.”
Alexa Spieler - Ariel's Review You

“Unlike much of the music that’s found on the radio today, Bud Buckley delivers songs that might best be described as coffee shop music. Each song seems to be suited for an intimate setting where the music can really flow to the listener. But Bud offers more than just songs that feed your mind. These songs are beautifully arranged and expertly played. Give this EP a listen. Your ears will thank you, and so will your brain! 4 out of 5 stars ”
Andrea Guy - Ariel's Review You

“If ever there was an EP to display the true talent of an artist, this would be the one. On In Denial, Buckley mixes the sounds of multiple artists such as John Mayer, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel and the like to create his own original sound – a sound that complements his voice along with his eclectic style of music. 4 Out of 5 Stars”
Alec Cunningham - Ariel's Review You

“Overall, In Denial is a strong album full of well-written songs performed at the highest level. Though some of the moods tend to be similar, there is enough diversity to keep things interesting and move the music along from one track to the next. With such a creative and engaging EP on the shelves, listeners are left waiting for Buckley’s next full-length release to hit the airwaves and store shelves worldwide. Rating: 4 Stars (out of 5) ”

"Bud Buckley knows the art of making feel good music. Through his charisma, lyrics and melody you get lost in his story telling and simply find yourself feeling good."
Mikki Hommel, booker for The National Underground, NYC - The National Underground

“Even the most cynical listener should be immediately attracted to this song, a masterpiece in many ways, is has an indefinable edge to challenge the limitations of song writing, production and performance. "Frozen Shadows" (by Bud Buckley) speaks quality from the very first deep and sonorous introductory notes. The framework of sound is ready to sink into, lay back and enjoy. There is a walking / nodding pace rhythm with the merest soft drum kick. his is an introspective, retrospective and conclusive love/life cry with carefully chosen lyrics and images. The vocal is a rare truffle of flavour, a little crispness filled with a meltingly rich and creamy centre!”

“Armed with his guitar and a solid repertoire of music, Bud Buckley brought a strong performance and thoroughly entertained the crowd at our Something Different Performance Series. ”
Danny Brookings President - Make It Happen Entertainment

“It was great having you perform for us. The audience couldn't seem to get enough of you, and even the staff working at the venue are now fans of Bud Buckley. We look forward to working with you again.”

“Worth a spot in your iPod. The key to a solid album is consistency.If I have to skip over 2 songs every time I listen, we have an issue. It’s About Time passes that test with room to spare. Production is tight and the vocals are solid the whole way through. Simply put, it’s got an organic sound that never gets sloppy. I could see myself putting this on repeat as I’m driving along an abandoned highway deep in the heart of Texas. Check it out for yourself if you need a break from pop radio. ”
Taeho - Album Review Blog

“Musical references as wide ranging as Paul Simon, The Eagles, Steve Miller Band, Blue Oyster Cult and Pink Floyd are valid here.... The only real complaint is that the disc is too short. Of course, leaving the listener wanting for more is preferable to creating an album that drags on too long. The bonus tracks will likely find fans looking to pick up the older releases. Yes, the music is that good. Rating: 4.5 Stars (out of 5) ”

“Bud Buckley delivered some amazing, edgy, yet warm and engaging performances at the Orion Independent Music Festival 2010. His songs caught the attention of industry insiders and film makers and we look forward to his return in 2011!"-Steffon Olsen, Founder/CEO Orion Independent Music Festival in Park City”
Steffon Olsen - www.orionmusicfestival.com

“Buckley has hints of the rusty growl of Springsteen, the storytelling abilities of Eric Clapton, and the freshness that brings "It's About Time" full circle. Combining classic elements with a sense of sweetness and vulnerability, Bud Buckley has made an album that will surely last through time.”
Nicole Delawder - Hudson Valley News

“There's no way this album will be lost in the mix as Bud Buckley has proven himself as timeless musician whose songs, although maybe not fit for mainstream radio at the moment, may very well take music back to its roots of genuine songs and lyrics that people can relate to. Its only appropriate that It's About Time has the theme of timelessness as the listener can easily be lost in the music and enter into a place where time is meaningless. 4.5 out of 5 stars”
J.B. Swift - Swift Reviews

“One of the best things about listening to others' expressions of creative catharsis is an ability to get inside the themes and words of music and connect to another creative mind. Taking the airy ride with Buckley's talented team of musicians will give insight into his mind and soothe away the stresses of life. Just a modern, easy to listen to E.P. Perfect for unwinding after a long day (or winter).”
Ellen Eldridge - Target Audience Magazine

“His vocal delivery reaches a whole new level on this six song EP and his composition and composure give the lyrics dramatic space. He’s kept the talented recording crew and studio band that made his second album, It’s About Time, a success.”
D-Man - Buried Beneath Floorboards

“Bud Buckley is one of those rare treats that you do not want to miss out on. He sings with passion and soul that clearly shows why he is meant to make music. The critically acclaimed singer/songwriter is also a masterful guitarist.-- Isaac Davis Jr, Junior's Cave Magazine”
Isaac Davis Jr. - Junior's Cave Magazine

“10 Stars. Bud Buckley makes the kind of music that I want to hear when I listen to the radio, and that's why I don't listen to the radio. It's very rare to hear an actual singer/songwriter on the dial and that's a shame, because I'm a huge fan. Bud Buckley's bringin'... something new to the mix.”
Chris Propfe - Musesmuse.com

“The name of this album alone shows the dynamic of hidden meanings in melody and lyrics. I give his “It’s About Time” 4/5 stars and urge fans of music and writing alike to check out Bud Buckley’s fine blend of inspired songs at his website http://budbuckley.com/. Don’t “make me beg”.”
Ellen Aldridge - Target Audience Magazine

“...images are of Mellencamp-ian Americana, as in the roots-country twang of "The Silence There" and in the album highlight, "Keeping Secrets," its weary lovers "as still as the lake, as still as that old church where the faithful no longer come." 3 stars”
Amanda Schurr - Creative Loafing

“08.06.08 - Yet another massive support for Bud Buckley this week ensuring his fourth week at the top of the Chart, holding off Neil w Young for the second week.”
Josh Simmons - Loneboystore

““...an album full of AOR tracks that succeeds on a lot of different levels. Sometimes the album is perfect as a Sunday morning soundtrack, other times a song will grab your attention with a clever hook or a sense of urgency.” ”
Doug Cornell - HitSessions.com

“I loved it. I love the edge, the power, the confidence that comes through in this album. You can feel every single song. I can relate to each lyric in my own way. As you will once you listen to his new album too! That’s just the way Bud rolls. He’s an amazing musician”
