? ?Emory's the real deal..great singer, his range and chops remind me of Lowell; writes soulful, funky and beautifully crafted songs. Labor and Spirits is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time..great playing, righteous, unslick production and a lot of sass and heart. I love this guy....?
    -- Bonnie Raitt

? "Emory?s great. I love listening to his music."
    -- Randy Newman

? "Many of us can dream of owning a voice that can echo the high lonesome cries of Bill Monroe and Rick Danko, the sweet country soul of Gram Parsons and Don Henly, the rock and roll grunt of Lowell George and Richard Manuel. Emory J. has one of these voices and behind it lies the deepest knowledge and respect for all that is Americana music. His songs bring Randy Newman and Guy Clark's craft to the everyman sensibilities of A.P. Carter, Jimmie Rodgers, and Big Bill Broonzy. Helping make this album was an immense joy." --
