Recording Artists Guild / Ragtalent | “The instrumentation across the record is lush and beautiful. Violins, guitars, piano, and much more combine to build an atmosphere you fall right into…there's something about his lyrics that wrap themselves around you. This is the type of album you listen to in full…the instrumental performances are outstanding and have plenty of passion and soul…but Grant's vocal performances…capture the moment. (His voice) has a perfect authenticity to it, so when you listen to his music, you can relate to a lot of it naturally.” | PENNY BALLADS | https://www.ragtalent.com/post/grant-maloy-smith-ramps-up-for-a-new-album | |
New Music Weekly | “…the album features 11 beautiful, “American Rootsy” ballads. Grant sang all the vocals, bringing his unmistakable voice to the project.” | PENNY BALLADS | https://newmusicweekly.com/grant-maloy-smith-releasing-new-ballads-album/ | |
Americana Highways | “Grant maneuvers through his little chapters filled with people, places, and things. A Charles Kuralt journey in every song. The trio of American Stories (the charted Dust Bowl, followed by Appalachia and Mississippi) has made Grant Maloy Smith the aural equivalent of Ken Burns in country music...Grant has a deep well of inspiration … he injects sentimentality, reflection, and reverence into his work. Not beer, pick-up trucks, or getting rowdy...Grant slowly sculpts his own Country-pop texture & it’s always durable. A satisfying listen.” | John Apice | PENNY BALLADS | https://americanahighways.org/2025/06/17/review-grant-maloy-smith-penny-ballads/ |
The FaLaLaLaLa Fireside | "The Christmas Heart" is a very adult Roots Americana (with some modern touches) AND, for whatever my opinion is worth, it's very good… while Grant definitely has a spirit and sound of rural (and Appalachian) America, he's not above jazzing things up… | Editors | The Christmas Heart |
