Reviews and articles:

Paste Magazine “These Ghosts” Music video premiere

"“These Ghosts” weaves together a woodsy blend of indie rock and folk driven by emphatic guitar riffs and contemplative lyrics. Commanding and introspective, Ramsey finds strength in the catharsis his music allows.”

Magnet Magazine “Fires” Song Premiere

“The album is a triumph of emotional resonance and well-considered sonic depth—as grand scale as it is intimate, as buoyed by hope as it is achingly sad. “Fires” is the perfect showpiece for those contrasts.”

Relix “Flare (For Neal Casal)” Song Premiere

“a stunning tune inspired by the life and loss of Neal Casal”

 

Holler “Where Were You (Live Acoustic)” Video premiere

“Meticulous, intimate songs” 

 

Americana UK “New Lost Ages” Album review

“Insightful lyrics and smart production choices make this a gentle indie-folk gem”

 The Rocking Magpie “New Lost Ages” Album review

Thought Provoking and Spiky Lo-Fi American Folk For All Generations.”

 

DC Music Review “New Lost Ages” Album Review:

“Ramsey's masterful blend of indie-folk and rock influences creates an audio landscape that resonates with authenticity and emotional depth… It's an album that lingers in the mind long after the final chord fades, leaving a profound impression on the listener's heart and soul.”

 

Blue Ridge Outdoors “New Lost Ages” Song article

“he’s been fixture on the Blue Ridge music scene“

 

Audiofuzz “New Lost Ages” Album review

“Ramsey’s new album New Lost Ages is a masterclass in American folk rock”

 

The Big Takeover “New Lost Ages” interview

“Tyler Ramsey has a talent for delivering delicate vocals with a warm and full-bodied embrace”

 

Glide Magazine “For the Morning” Album review

“an album that’s so sensual and sublime, it’s easy to imagine folks touting him as an heir apparent to none other than Nick Drake. Not that the comparison hasn’t been tossed out before, but if anyone most deserve it, Ramsey’s clearly the one.”

 

Relix Magazine “For the Morning” Article

“it finds the singer/guitarist meditating on life’s big questions through slowly rocking, glimmering folk tunes.“

 

Guitar Player “Back on the Chain Gang” Premiere

“Ramsey intuitively knows how to serve a song best with his playing, and he demonstrates that hard-to-come-by skill beautifully on this track”

 

Garden & Gun “The Best Southern Albums of 2019” For The Morning

“The quiet strumming, vivid imagery, and echoing vocals on songs such as “White Coat” will make it a favorite of fans of Fleet Foxes or Lord Huron.”

 

Music Radar “For The Morning” Article

“offers more instrumental substance, subtly working in impressive fingerstyle touches (check out Darkest Clouds or Firewood) and an array of stringed instrumentation, including banjo and 12-string”

 

Frontrunner Mag “For The Morning” review

“a well-named, reflective collection of folk songs that sound like early morning or possibly late evening–the solitary, meditative times of day when you really have space to think”

 

NPR “Heavy Rotation: 10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing” about A Dream of Home 

“Spacious arrangements elicit the feel of starry nights, golden fields, and woody trails. Shimmering guitars and drum beats feel like an invigorated pulse, and the sprawling six-minute length suggests a more tempered pace to life.” --Rosemary Welsch, WYEP

 

Relix Magazine “For The Morning” Album Review

“With its weepy steel guitars and acoustic-heavy arrangements, many of the highlights here—like the gospel-tinged “Your Whole Life” and fingerpicked “White Coat” — suitably feel like they were written in middle of a forest, with a hunting dog nearby and a smartphone nowhere in sight. It’s Ramsey’s dream of home, solidified in sound.”

 

Magnet Magazine “Breaking A Heart” Song Premiere

“With its pronounced Laurel Canyon vibe, “Breaking A Heart” sounds like some lost Desperado-era Eagles gem, though with a mist-shrouded Appalachian soul.”

 

Bluegrass Situation “Evening Country” Song Premiere

 

The Line of Best Fit “Evening Country” Article

 

Clash Music “White Coat” Song Premiere

“We're able to share gorgeous, palatial new cut 'White Coat', and it tingles with a raw, unfettered beauty. Neatly pieced together, it's a folk-hewn piece of Americana with a pastoral gaze, a gentle, heavenly ditty.”  

 

FLOOD Magazine “White Coat” Song Premiere

“Inspired by his time spent in the mountains outside Asheville, North Carolina where he lives, amongst a verdant pastoral landscape; sonically, it intertwines country, rock, and folk”

 

Billboard “Firewood” Song Premiere

“with its ringing acoustic guitars, spare arrangement and elegiac melody — also shows off the spirit of musical adventure Ramsey wanted to apply to For the Morning.”

 

Ear to the Ground “A Dream of Home” song review

“This lush folk rock track is everything that’s right about music production in 2019”

 

Clash Music “A Dream of Home” Review

“rich, absorbing new solo cut 'A Dream Of Home'.”

 

Line of Best Fit “A Dream of Home” Album announcement

 

Uncut about “A Dream Of Home”

“The tunes powering the Uncut office this week”

 

American Songwriter “Found A Picture Of You” Covers EP Review

“it’s his supple sound and quiet, contemplative mindset that fully comes to the fore”
