“‘Buzzkill’ is a spunky, catchy salt-of-the-earth rock song that will appeal to fans of Alex Lahey or Eliza McLamb or even Sheryl Crow.”

“Protest music at its finest.”
— Ann Powers on “Wildfire Season”
“Riccio sums up our moment’s crises with startling urgency and clarity, making what’s on country radio and much of what’s being made by her peers in the Americana world sound self-indulgent and small by comparison. We need more songs like this in 2026.”
Newport Folk John Prine Songwriter Fellowship Winner
“Jobi Riccio thinks of herself as an outsider - not quite fitting into the bubbles around country music or indie rock, but certainly borrowing liberally from both in her highly personal songwriting.”
“When Riccio sings, she hands you her whole heart.”
“On ‘Sweet,’ Riccio dabbles with a ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ groove, but vocally inhabits an insouciance towards changing personality traits or personal preferences to please a lover — or anyone else, for that matter.”
“‘Everyone has a person they sing their love songs to,’ Jobi Riccio sings in ‘For Me It’s You,’ a slow, terse, old-fashioned country waltz complete with a plaintive fiddle. It just gets torchier as that love goes unrequited.”
