"This guy has mega-chops: a beguiling cross-breeding of blues, rock and bluegrass, cemented by lyrics that recall Cohen and Zevon." Real Detroit Weekly

"Simply put, American Vernacular is an unpredictable gem. You will not find many others this year that mix lyrical ingenuity with instrumental brilliance in such a passionate display." ObscureSound.com

"Stuart Rosh likes juxtaposing contemporary lyrical concerns of love, culture, politics and parenthood against the dusty sound of traditional musical styles. It's like listening to Muddy Waters and Hank Williams 78s on a really great stereo." Critic's Pick, Cincinnati CityBeat

"Articulate, concise, and not unnecessarily embellished, his words say what's on his mind with brevity that is refreshing. " Don Grant, Freight Train Boogie

"This collection should find an eager audience with just about anyone seeking an alternative to modern radio fluff." Don Chance, Wichita Falls Times Record News

"Stuart Rosh writes the kind of songs that are all too rare these days. Every track on the album contains an exceptional narrative." Dan Wilkinson, Americana-UK

"These Californians have lots going on in their songs, led by singer Stuart Rosh, including some humor and smart observations." Kevin Hosey, Buffalo Roots

"There is an 'old friend' honesty in the music of Stuart Rosh & The Geniuses. Rosh likes the contrast of mixing vintage sound with what he calls 'here and now lyrics.' The combination produces an earthy, down-home style that is believable, affirming and relevant." Ken Mowery, Indie-music.com
