"Resistor," and especially its almost punky, upbeat opening tune, "Shape Shifter" – is much different from her nameless alter ego's, often trafficking in similar moods of melancholy and hurt but with an evocative Americana lift, and nowhere near as gloomy or grim. -OnMilwaukee

"[Her} 14 song show that reinforces precisely why the young Texas-born Nashville resident is such hot property at present. She has the confidence and stage presence to engage and amuse a very attentive audience throughout the evening." -Lonesome Highway Dublin Show Review
"Certainly, it’s [Resistor] rich in atmosphere, Lynn and co-producer Joshua Grange evoking the kind of torchy, spectral noir that informs the best work of Cowboy Junkies or Mazzy Star. But there’s also a less tangible, sinister element at play here, as if everything has been tilted slightly off centre." -Uncut Magazine

"...with that kind of voice and talent; as a composer or as a singer, she’s set to go even further, nobody fortunate enough to see this powerhouse live would ever doubt that."- Creative Loafing
Lera Lynn is the wonderfully dead-eyed singer-songwriter who apparently had a residency at the bar (the Black Rose) frequented by Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn's characters in the underwhelming second season ofTrue Detective. She should win all the acting awards. All of them. Maybe invent a few. The Silver Raven Acting Award for Actors and Actresses. Sure. Let's go with that. -People Magazine
"Sure, the sophomore season of writer Nic Pizzolatto's HBO crime-noir series True Detective was nearly universally panned. But it nonetheless vaulted Nashville-residing Americana singer Lera Lynn into the national spotlight. Thanks to critical buzz, Lynn had danced around the edges of said spotlight for some time, but her turn on the show as a down-and-out shoe-gazing bar singer — playing songs Lynn worked up with luminary T Bone Burnett — ratcheted up attention for a singer and songwriter who's long deserved it."-Nashville Scene
"Lynn scored a big break recently when T Bone Burnett asked her to help compose and record the theme song for Season 2 of True Detective, which premiered last night on HBO." -American Songwriter
"[Lera Lynn] steps out of the darkness (and the dark circles) to reveal the artist beneath the mysterious character. And, even without Vince Vaughn's weighted glances and Colin Farrell's puffs of smoke, it's just as alluring." - Rolling Stone Country
"The Nashville musician puts a dark twist on country music; she still embraces heartache with a twist or two ... Her new tracks certainly embody a Western-noir type of excitement, as if a lonesome specter was crooning these songs of loss and heartache from an abandoned saloon ... the hauntingly gripping energy exuded in her performance on [True Detective] doubled in person." -Denver's The Advocate
"Playing a stoic, show-gazing dive-bar singer, Lera Lynn was an unlikely bright spot on the otherwise dull second season of HBO's star-studded crime series True Detective." - Nashville Scene
"Many listeners were introduced to her haunting voice in the trailer for the second season of "True Detective" ... Lera Lynn, the woman singing some of those great blue ballads in the dingy bar, The Black Rose, is an accomplished singer and songwriter off the screen, too." - The Salt Lake Tribune
'True Detective' turned many listeners on to Lera Lynn - Knoxville News Sentinel
"Next to the gunman in the bird mask, Lera Lynn was one of the most mysterious things about "True Detective's" second season." - The Tennessean
Lera Lynn isn't afraid of the dark: Voice of 'True Detective' talks new LP, tour
"It's been a big year for Lynn, who had five songs featured in HBO's hit series True Detective, including the show's trailer." - American Songwriter
"Lynn offers a haunting, beautiful vocal delivery that sounds like a cross-between Joy Williams and Norah Jones if you added a country twang." - Paste Magazine
"With a voice that recalls a young Rosanne Cash, less weatherd but with a ghostly edge that shimmers somewhere between Patsy Cline's bel canto and Alanis Morissette's vernacular whine, Lynn is a major talent waiting to be discovered." - Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
"There's something about the matter-of-fact sadness in Lynn's music that's immediately captivating. She has her own albums out now and is working on a new one for next year." - NPR's World Cafe
"Of the many moving pieces of True Detective's often convoluted second season ... one of the most immediately intriguing was the recurring presence of singer-songwriter Lera Lynn ... Lynn's downtrodden solo performances pushed the show's soundtrack firmly into the diegesis - often making it the focus of the scene for almost uncomfortable amounts of time." - Weld Birmingham
"Lera Lynn scored big this year with HBO's crime series True Detective ... During AmericanaFest, she kicked off her first tour since her new fame with a blast of fresh confidence and a mandate for darker soundscapes." - Rolling Stone
"Arguably the breakout star of True Detective ... was not an actor, but the crooning, country singer echoing from the back of the bar. That voice belongs to Lera Lynn, a Nashville-based songstress whose moody, melancholic vibes and soulful twang earned her the attention of legendary musician T Bone Burnett." - Best Girl Grip
"In the season finale, Lynn's version of the Burnett/Bob Neuwirth composition "Lately" (now available digitally) underlies the compelling final scene, and Lynn ... has been on an upward arc ever since." - Addicted to Radio
"We didn't see much of Lera Lynn in the last few episodes of True Detective, but the final time we do is perhaps the most poignant ... and subtlety adds some emotional weight to the proceedings." - True Detective Rumors
"There's an uncanny emotional component to her work, with echoing guitars that quiver like a nervous lip and lyrics that place enough cracks in the narrative to let a dreamlike sense of wander settle in. Far from simplistically gloomy, The Avenues garnered comparisons to Chris Isaak and a musical version of David Lynch because it focused on a certain kind of hazy, low-light mystery." - Marissa R. Moss Rolling Stone

615 Spotlight: Lera Lynn Debuts 'La Di Da' Off Next Album (Exclusive) - Billboard 615, Chuck Dauphin
"Nashville-based alt-country artist Lera Lynn might be right in the middle of one of the most commercial music movements of our time, but she approaches her own craft with thoughtful discernment. From minimalist videos to her own visual art, she's not just cranking out pop songs but producing the sort of music that's as substantial as it is entertaining (you know, in a haunting, stripped down, darkly alluring way)." - Mountain Xpress
"Lera Lynn is in a category all her own. The lush twang of her music tenderly embraces her sublimely emotive and haunting vocals to create a fascinating world akin to that alluring twilight found only at the crossroads just before falling asleep or being fully awake. She possesses a mystical grace that shimmers with the warm glow of intrigue — a hint that there is something beyond experience and talent fueling her music. And, perhaps nowhere are these traits more evident than in her latest video, “Lying in the Sun.” - Allen Foster, examiner.com

"Watching and listening to Lera Lynn is a purely transcendent experience. There is something more to her music than what can be seen and heard. She taps into an intangible element and graciously hands it over to her audience, offering them a profound experience.

You cannot say that you have truly understood the power of music until you have seen Lera Lynn perform live." - AXS

"Lera Lynn is like a...soulful version of... Paula Cole. From her new EP of the same name, “Lying in the Sun” mixes falsetto vocals with gentle strumming. Her closing coos on “Lying” are soothing, not unlike what’s implied in the title. Steel guitar accents the music in all the right places so that it’s not overpowering. The breezy instrumentation is vacation inducing, and after snowpocalypse after icemaggedeon, we could all use a small break." - Online Athens
