"On a starkly startling 2008 bow, AMERICAN HEARTS, Alabama native A.A. Bondy strikes the pose of lonely rider inching along a desolate plain. At times it feels as if the softly elegant singer-songwriter has been plucked from a portal to the distant past, a gentler Leadbelly, a less boozy Hank Williams; themes of death and despair lurk around every corner of the country-folk blend. An instantly engaging, lyrically mesmerizing record, it fits neatly between Dylan and M. Ward as Bondy slides comfortably into songs of revenge (“How Will You Meet Your End”), salvation (“Rapture (Sweet

Rapture)”), or passion (“Lovers’ Waltz”). AMERICAN HEARTS is a striking debut from a grave new voice." - All Music
