“J.R.’s smart and deeply soulful music creates a cosmos all its own. To hear it feels like being lifted off the ground and gently held aloft.”

- Cellist, Lori Goldston

“J R Rhodes has the badass husky musky voice with haunting dense lyrics… great singer song writer.”

- Guitarist, Stone Gossard

"I have a physical response to the rich tones of J.R.'s voice. I immediately take a breath and pause because the unique sound and lyrics make me feel like I was invited to sit in on a very private, thought provoking journey."

- Listener, Lillian Aguilar

"What I heard knocked me out!"

- Jazz Double-Bassist with Charlie Parker, Ted Wald

“J.R. is amazing. I asked her to sing on a project — I gave her very little info, just lyric sheets and a few mp3s. I said ‘I trust you. Get inside the songs — do what you think is right.’ She came into the studio a few weeks later and knocked everybody over — soulful, understated, right on target with the melody and the lyric. First take. Whatever it is that she has access to — whatever informs her art — is worth every second of your time.”

- Folk Singer Songwriter, Jim Page
