“Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts put on one of the day’s best performances on the Strainwise stage.”
- Colorado Music Buzz, Higher Ground Music Festival 2013

“Chrys’s deep vocal delivery recalls Shooter Jennings. Taking cues from outlaw-country pioneers like Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard, Chrys and company lay down a collection of fueled-up twangy numbers alongside some heartfelt ballads.”
- Westword Magazine (Denver’s division of Village Voice)

“Ryan Chrys’ career as a Colorado musician has mostly been in the background of bands, until the guitar solo. He is a guitarist’s guitarist, a country rock ax man. …he’s branched out on his own with A Lick and a Promise, an impressive album of country rock songs..”
- The Denver Post

“Ryan Chrys on guitars and vocals is a standout.”
​- Colorado Music Buzz Magazine

“The album is good, and I’m sure it’d be even better coming out of the stereo in a old rusty pick-up.”
​- Marquee Magazine, Boulder, CO

“At any given show, you may find him perched on one of the subs (or mains!), dressed to kill… One of his better stunts last year was to hook up wireless and walk Colfax during his act on the Musicians In Action outdoor stage during the Root 40 MusicFest.”

“Love your music – you are like Johnny Cash meets Greg Allman!​”
