Brian Molnar and The Naked Hearts are the new sound on the Americana clock radio as the fog of slumber lifts and we slowly awaken from the American Dream.
“When you’ve got acts like the Louvin Bros. and Kristofferson to follow, it’s hard for a young ‘un to get traction. Mixing tarot with horseshit and honey, he’s come up with the kind of winner that brings new, non-Buddy Miller life back to the genre.”
Chris Spector - Mid West Record Recap
“The cd is almost worth acquiring for one song alone, the poignant and harrowing "To Rescue You," which succinctly draws together all of album's strong points in a compelling example of how songs should be written and played.”
John Hinshelwood - Americana UK
“Ah, they can call what Molnar does New York City Americana but what it really is seems more like the bastard child of 60’s Washington Square folk. With an over riding theme that the future ain’t what it used to be, Molnar writes and sings a pretty good urban folk tale from start to finish.”
