http://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/117680-best-60-albums-of-2009/P4/
"In an era of contrived images and generic production values, an old school
album of down-to-Earth rock ‘n’ roll stands out. Roadhouse Sun stands tall
in such a manner, with West Texas troubadour Ryan Bingham’s gritty vocals
and honest songwriting recalling a fading era."

"More than anything, with these 12 uniformly excellent songs and
back-to-back stellar albums, Bingham has earned a spot as one of
country-rock’s leading (and toughest) songwriting voices."
