ALBUM REVIEWS

I love all the songs on Jon Rutherford’s album. You can tell that he knows real life. I love the way his songs touch my soul. The first track, ‘Just Another Day,’ is amazing. What a great CD! Jon’s album has something for everyone. His style is playful, sexy, and pure Texan. If he toured, he would be as big as the headliner. Jon needs to be out on the road with this album.

- CD Baby

Jon Rutherford has one of the most distinctive country music voices ever. I listen to his album all the time, all the way through, every 2-3 days, and I never get tired of it. ‘You’re Breakin' Up’ is a sure fire Texas country hit. If you love to listen to country singers with their own style and true Texas brand of country music, then buy this album.
