#ALTCOUNTRYFORUM . NL #JohanSchoenmakers
"#CountrySupper is the captivating sequel to the acclaimed #DirtySouthBlues.. a true pearl in a primitive style with driving grooves that deserves to be heard."

#AMERICANAHIGHWAYS
"a sprawling & savory collection of sixteen tracks that displays not only his versatility & talent as a songwriter & guitar player but also his deftness in melding his musical influences to create a sound of his own.. leaves us wanting and waiting for more."

#AMERICANBLUESSCENE
"this isn’t Nashville ‘bro-country’ cranked out of Music City. This is soulful, lonesome, what if Ol’ Hank were still alive country-blues. ..some of the best of the original Mississippi blues in a style that remains relevant today."

#AMERICANAHIGHWAYS (Top 100 Albums of 2020)

#ARTSFUSE (#Boston)
"Country Supper" is a beautifully produced album, a cohesive musical and artistic statement that will appeal to serious fans of the blues, country, and indie rock."

#BLUESENTHUSED #IAINCAMERON
"..if you want to saddle up for a long journey deep into the Mississippi blues, then Robert Connely Farr may be just the escort you need."

BLUES MUSIC FAN RADIO - DJ #SASHAALLARDYCE
"brilliant work... insightful lyrics & expert musicianship. ...a depth & authenticity we don't often find. A+"

#BLUESROADHOUSE
“..a very unusual, very intense, very good album.”

#BUCKYBROWN
"some of Mr. Connely’s hardest hitting stuff yet... gritty & dark... soothing & melodic... heavy mystic element reminiscent of the more sinister Drive-By Truckers material. It’s supper time for blues enthusiast of all shapes & sizes."

#BLUESMUSICFANRADIO - DJ #BENVEES
"#COUNTRYSUPPER is chocked full of badass tunes!"

#CHILLFILTR
"blends superb natural tones with the enduring touchstones of a bluesman, and delivers the kind of wistful reckoning that pairs well with your favorite tequila"

#CUPSNCAKES (Album Pick of the Week)
"especially satiating.. Farr’s voice is the most important aspect of the album, and it’s clear he was born to sing the blues"

#DIRTYWORKSEDITORIAL
"Pure and simple - Mississippi Magic! ..hypnotic spells with a lot of rural Delta & a lot of #HillCountryBlues (the "hypnotic groove" of #FredMcDowell , #RLBurnside , #JuniorKimbrough & co). Dust, stinger, & an old Harmony amp from the sixties. But also rock'n'roll ( "Girl in the Holler" ) & country outlaw ("If It Was up to Me" )"

#DISCIPLESOFSOUND
“If there was a vocalist whose sound might best encapsulate.. 2020, it would have to be #RobertConnelyFarr.. weathered, bothered, a bit angry, & full of steam.. a cross between #HowlinWolf & #DriveByTruckers ”

#EARTOTHEGROUNDMUSIC
If you’re looking for some gritty blues to get you through the day, Farr has that in spades... sounds like he’s had some experience to earn the grit... fascinating and plodding."

#ELMOREMAGAZINE #peterlindblad (94 rating)
"captivating follow up to the critically acclaimed Dirty South Blues.. powerful meditations on mortality & alcoholism, the poverty of Farr's youth in rural Mississippi & enduring an emotional gauntlet of penitence, resignation & sorrow crawl from the wreckage of Farr's honest, heart-on-his-sleeve lyrics. Bloodies but unbowed, each carefully considered word tumbles from Farr's whiskey ravaged voice.. #JimmyDuckHolmes & RLBoyce must be proud."

HIT TRACK TOP 100 (Album Of The Week)

#GEORGIASTRAIGHT
"you might think that Farr would have immersed himself in the music of B.B. King or Muddy Waters early on. But that's not quite the case."

#GLIDEMAGAZINE #jimhynes
"Raw, authentic, trancelike, & practically a debt of gratitude to the music of his birthplace, Farr carries on as a torchbearer for the state’s original music... His mission is important."

#GREATDARKWONDER
"fascinatingly hypnotic & alluring.. keeps you entranced throughout.. Lovers of blues are going to find deep satisfaction in this set of songs. Farr sets the bar high"

#JOHNGODFREY (John Godfrey's Troubadour Show #29)
"excellent, solid Americana Blues album"

#JOEBONAMASSA
"Love that song (Cadillac Problems) & record. Well Done sir."

#MUSICALSHAPES
"a bracing shot of Mississippi-bred roadhouse poetry.. raw & scarred music, fueled by Farr’s primal guitar playing, bares authenticity"

#MYSTICSONS
"Canadian frontman takes influence from Tom Waits with this smooth yet jangled indie-rock groove"

#PARTONANDPEARL
"A fine fixing of material from a criminally underrated West Coast blues belter! Year-end lists await!"

#PANWINYL
"high voltage blues"

#PHILLYCHEEZEBLUES
“Farr’s original blues compositions deserve highest accolades.. a downright gem of an album.”

#PLANARTERIA
"...Farr brings the sound of Delta country blues... If #CharliePatton # #RobertJohnson were alive, they would be happy to hear from Farr."

#POSTTOWIRE (inc in BEST OF 2020)
"top-shelf alt-country, steeped in blues and the kind of poetry that makes heroes in our scene. (Farr) can conjure up both the brains & the brawn of Drive-By Truckers & the stripped down rough & ready spirit of masters such as Howlin’ Wolf or RL Burnside."

#REALROOTSCAFE
“..so penetrating.. a bizarrely beautiful album.. 'Train Train' is the ultimate blues experience”

#ROCKANDROLLCIRCUS (ES)
“roots music can't get better than this. "Country Supper" is MO-NU-MEN-TAL effort. For sure at the top of every respectable end of the year list. ..a buried treasure in the #countryblues badlands. The REAL deal.”

#ROCKINGMAGPIE
"an album for aficionados"

#ROOTSandFUSION
“a seriously dirty album, gives RL Burnside a run for his money”

#ROOTSHIGHWAY . IT
"the tracks in which his roots coincide with the music he loves become more mature and give some little gems of blues reinterpretation full of southern moods"

#RUSSELLTRUNKSEXCLUSIVMAGAZINE
"#CountrySupper transcends the borders of genres by transforming them into his own distinctive, deeply rooted #Americana style.. a display of sonic & songwriting shamanism"

#SMITHSONIANMAGAZINE
"menacing, gutteral..."

#SOUNDSOFSOUTH
"Not for the faint-hearted music gourmets, but rather something for lovers of rough, honest Southern Roots / Delta Blues home-style cooking."

#TAKEEFFECTREVIEWS
"A record that points towards the past while still being very modern, Farr is just as versed in the area of Delta blues as he is indie-rock or alt-country, & it’s quite easy to see why Country Supper ended up on many year end lists. For fans of names of Springsteen, Earle & Fulks, you’re not going to want to pass this up."

#VANCOUVERSUN #StuartDerdeyn
“deep, dirty grooves.. gutbucket brand of rocking delta boogie”

#VINYLCHAPTERS
"great guitar work, downtrodden lyrics, and that sense of menace that all the best blues tracks thrive in."

#YORKCALLING
"lots of swagger"

#ZICAZIC
"genius in this music and class in the way Farr.. pays homage to it.. Indispensable!"
