The Americana Music Show has chosen Kieran Ridge & The Moonrakers as #14 on their list of the best Americana albums of 2021.

“Kieran Ridge delivers 11 original compositions with sincerity & urgency. A forceful set of rollicking Americana…armed with an emotive and muscular voice, & a clever turn of phrase…he is perfectly at ease rasping & shouting through hard luck tales of love, loss, and life at the bottom of the bottom of the bottle & atop of a tough climb… Most impressive...his tough exterior, while immensely enjoyable, masks sustained lamentation of loneliness & regret. In creating a complex voice, he joins the best writers of the country tradition.”

“Sweet Jesus. What a fun, infectiously sing-alongable set of songs. ...ranges from deep country, to dylanesque laments, to bluesy numbers. Ridge never misses a beat, never has a bad line in his songs, never fails to entertain.”
-Calvin Powers
The Americana Music Show

“Ridge is an authentic practitioner of powerful roots music, this album is a fine representation of his soulful music.”
