"Sounds like [Ruby Hill] has been around forever and the album just kicks right into gear as if they haven’t missed a beat...Not many sophomore albums start off with so much confidence and power. [Ruby Hill's} guitar riffs will remind you of some of the best of the DMB, and solid lyrics and songwriting. As their bio states, they have been gigging for quite a while and it shows in the musicianship. [Ruby Hill} is poised for greatness and I am so glad I was able to see them when they were a local band...this band is just getting started."
