Praise for Jon Hyde

Yellow Light is one of those albums that rewards patience. This low-key, rootsy collection from Seattle singer-songwriter Jon Hyde resonates with a subtle, alt-country soulfulness that recalls the likes of Paul Burch, the Jayhawks, Wilco and Neil Young... [when you reach the end of the CD] you might find yourself simply returning to the first track. It's that kind of album.
--Steven Stolder, editor â Amazon.com

â¦Jon Hyde does plenty of good work with the dobro, pedal steel, accordion and banjo on his new album, Yellow Light. But his work with Tucker Martine on the production knobs is what sets this artful roots rock record apart from others in its genre.
--Richard Martin, Seattle Weekly

Reminiscent of Dylan, Petty, and Uncle Tupelo, Hyde provides alt-country rock twang, laden with wordplay and lyrics of slow despair and cautious hope... Itâs a reverent reality rendered through magnificent music.
--David Legry, HEARmusic

Jon Hydeâs near-perfect pop sensibility and melancholy lyrics are blended with a subtle sense of humor, giving the impression he is smiling behind the music. Folk-rock and alt-country are just a few of the classifications for Hydeâs music, but most important is the strong attention to melody, lyrics and arrangement.
