NoDepression.com says:
"Chad is equal parts Townes Van Zant and Woody Guthrie. A remarkably competent finger style guitarist and arguably one of new folk's most gifted new lyricists. 'Redemption Man' indeed redeems his warm, brown acoustic roots sound. Chad's previous releases, while highly impressive, pale in comparison to his latest release thanks o producer Bo Ramsey and virtual list of who's who in the Iowa roots music scene including Pieta Brown making a notable back-up vocal appearance on what I feel to be the album's signature track 'Same Old Way.'" - Mat D, NoDepression.com READ MORE
Cityview says:
"Redemption is something a working artist like Chad Elliott understands. It is the saving or improving of something from irreversible decline. Sometimes it is the art. Other times it is the artist himself. Eight years ago, the 35-year-old singer-songwriter-guiartist bought a one-way ticket to California. With only $20 in his pocket, he immersed himself in San Francisco's homeless community. For one month, he ate and slept with them. Then for the next 11 months, he lived in his car, rambling like a vagabond before returning to his native Iowa and settling down in Coon Rapids." - Michael Swanger, Cityview READ MORE
Sioux City Journal says:
"In the wide scope of Americana music live stories timeless as the land. With dynamic swells amid driven and transient melodies, Chad Elliott tells them one song at a time." - Sam Burrish, Heard Mentality READ MORE
Intrepid Media says:
"Singer/songwriter and artisan Chad Elliott constantly tells stories. They're floated on chords, tucked between songs, and layered on canvas. As his tales unfold, Elliott's unassuming character and approachability create immediate intimacy. He's the guy at the end of the bar you want to talk to at 2:00 a.m. while the glasses are stacked and the jukebox fades." - Tracey Kelley, Intrepid Media READ MORE
Scented Vinyl says:
"The music seems to carry on in the tradition of the 'Iowa sound' started decades ago. For those that don't know, 'the Iowa sound' is a 'distinctive combination of folk, blues and roots-rock that perfectly captures the rugged artistry of Iowa's landscape.' Pretty much, Chad Elliott." - Daniel Bosman, Scented Vinyl
