“Bobby Jo Valentine’s vocals express raw, tender emotions and his lyrics are refreshingly original. His audience will be charmed with “Be Mine” and touched deeply with “Fly,” running the gamete of emotions that make for an entertaining and heartfelt journey.” Jan White, West Coast Songwriter’s Association “It’s really lovely.” Judah Dadone, Lead singer for the Freelance Whales “Bobby Jo writes and performs songs with a sweetness and honesty seldom heard in acoustic pop music. These are tales in search of joy; the giving and the getting. Many speak of love and longing, but so few speak from compassion and with such hope. There is no Americana affectations here, no twang in the voice, no desire to fit into a stay at the lub or on the radio. Simple and beautiful, this is a record worth listening to by a young man that is just beginning to touch lives with the truth in his heart. ***** out of 5 stars.” Brian Lucey, mastering engineer for the Grammy-winning album Brothers by The Black Keys “If Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, and Regina Spektor were to combine forces, you would have Bobby Jo Valentine. Soulful and uplifting, soothing and calming, Valentine’s music is the perfect blend of indie and modern pop/rock. Often times it is quite difficult to switch from genre to genre or to switch styles and tones, but Bobby Jo Valentine does so with ease. His voice is passionate and beautiful, using his soothing ways to demonstrate his musicality and versatility. His musicality separates himself from any other artist out there presently, and A Place To Belong is the proof. Alexa Spieler Rating: 5 stars (out of 5) “Bobby Jo Valentine has been exploding onto the music scene for some time now and his new album “A Place to Belong” is proof that he’s here to stay. This album fills you with that sense of longing everyone has for their own personal “Place of Peace” and then takes you there and back again. Pace yourselves; Bobby Jo Valentine is just getting warmed up. ***** out of 5” Tim Ward, musician and composer
