WINNER - Best Vermont Country CD of 2006
- Barre-Montpelier Times-Argus
Rusty Romance are a good old-fashioned, friendly Americana act? the band delivers affable twang in the vein of John Hiatt, Buck Owens and Gram Parsons. Refreshing in its utter lack of pretension, their debut WHO BROUGHT THE FUN? offers some charmingly sanguine sounds.
-Casey Rea, Music Editor, SEVEN DAYS

?might remind you of Starline Rhythm Boys at its most fun and The Band at its most pensive. WHO BROUGHT THE FUN? was recorded in one seven-hour stretch at the Middlesex (Vermont) Town Hall and has that feel of a casual Sunday-night hootenanny.
-Brent Hallenbeck. Music Editor, THE BURLINGTON FREE PRESS

?brought back the 70s in all its twanging glory---the flat beer, stale smoke, and a hankering for MERLE. This sextet is a lot of fun to listen too. Slick Rusty Romance isn?t. Listenable and toe-tapping with great new songs, it is.
-Art Edelstein, arts correspondent, THE TIMES ARGUS
