“The gravelly-voiced Manson attacks the high art of low-rent songcraft with a paid assassin’s precision.” - No Depression Magazine

“Imagine an American Elvis Costello, but one who eschews venomous relationship failure lyrics in favor of telling ladies how deeply in love he is with them, generally
to the accompaniment of hook-laden chord progressions reminiscent of the Beatles, or the listenable side of Nashville.” - Blues Matters, UK

"Listening to Jono Manson’s 10th solo album—with its abundance of instant-grabber hooks and smartly constructed riffs, shiny melodies and warm harmonies, confident, seductive vocal performances and intelligent, relatable story lines—you have to wonder one thing. Why isn’t this guy famous? Manson has been at it for more than five decades, a denizen of the New York City club scene and beyond. His particular spin on Americana draws lines between glorious power-pop and tough-ass barroom rock, rootsy blues and twangy folk-rock...Self-produced, with all of the tunes written in whole or in part by Manson himself, the LP is full of imminently listenable music—as in, you can play it again and again without tiring of it. “Home Again to You,” the first track on Silver Moon, is Tom Petty-level hummable—the kind of upbeat tune The Lovin’ Spoonful would’ve called good-time music." - Relix Magazine 07/20/20
