“Tommy Webb is one of those singers who can evoke pure emotion with every note. Whether it's an upbeat, driving bluegrass tune or one of those heartbreakers like Teardrop Inn, Tommy makes you believe he's lived every line. Tommy Webb is truly a great voice in bluegrass music!”
Tim Frye - WPAQ Radio
"Tommy Webb is one of those rare down to earth, no sugar coating talents that comes along once in a grand while that grabs you and makes you listen. His style is how own, his voice, well it is Tommy, not too polished, not too rough, just character, the way I like to hear singing and playing, and in today's market that is a wonderful thing - setting him apart, already from a large group of singers. This is the third CD by Tommy that I have been a part of, and from that first time I hit the record button and heard him sing, I knew tht I, along with the rest of bluegrass and acoustic music world would be hearing a lot more from this guy, and hopefully I will be involved." Ron Stewart, Producer / Musician
"Tommy Webb has a beautiful and authentic bluegrass voice that is a breath of fresh air in the music industry. The Eastern Kentucky native's new release "Heartland" is a joyous celebration of life in the heartland of America, and it's an exciting and surprisingly satisfying musical adventure.In the tradition of Ricky Skaggs, Tommy Webb has significant crossover potential to have both country and bluegrass chart hits. Grammy voters are bound to soon take notice of this authentic troubadour from the Heartland." CountryChart.com
"Thank you Tommy Webb for recording that greast song from Mike Wells, Teardrop Inn. It is one of our favorites here at our show." - Roy Blackman, The Main Street Bluegrass Show.
"On his latest album Heartland, his first with Rural Rhythm, Webb once again expands on what we’ve come to know and kicks it up to a new level." TODAY'S COUNTRY MAGAZINE
"A heavenly blend of country and bluegrass, Heartland is a prime example of the revivalist spirt currently sparking roots music into a new era. His crack outfit is sharper than a Bowie knife, each gent a master of his instrument and as tasty as a Georgia peach in late summer. The Rural Rhythm label has scored a big winner in Tommy Webb, his music drips with morning dew, mid-day git-up 'n gallop, and sunset regrets, and you'll find yourself returning to the CD time and time again." Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange by Mark S. Tucker
"Tommy Webb has a universal comfort in his lyrics and the songs have a warm, rolling charm." - John Shelton Ivany's Top21
“Tommy Webb is a wonderfully talented and exciting new artist that I've become a big fan of. It's bands like his that keeps the heart of Bluegrass music beating strongly. Tommy's new song A Hard Row to Hoe - reaches the heart of the everyday man/woman's and their plight - working honestly for a living, enduring through hard times, just trying to survive, I think this tune is and will be, a definite hit among more than just Bluegrass fans, as it is already with me. Thanks Tommy and boys - for hittin' the nail on the head with this tune at this most difficult time in our beloved America and also the World." - Gracie Muldoon, www.worldwidebluegrass.com
“I love Tommy’s music ! His music is hard driving and yet soothing and he has a style of his own. When you hear Tommy sing you know it’s him right from the start. His voice was made for bluegrass music and when he sings a song he sure makes it his own. Here at WMMT we can’t get enough of his music and the listeners request his music everyday. Tommy is most defiantly a force in the bluegrass music world and will continue to be as long as he continues to sing bluegrass music.”- Little Debbie, WMMT Radio 88.7
“Tommy Webb is the Real Deal...Being from Eastern Kentucky, he lives and breaths Bluegrass Music. His new album "Heartland" on Rural Rhythm Records is his best material to date and sure to propel him back to the top of the Charts." -Charlie Hall, WCYO 100.7fm

"I didn't know there were bluegrass singers like this anymore. I just love this CD <Heartland>. Ron Stewart has produced a great album. Tommy writes first rate songs and has a voice powerful enough to do without a microphone and plays a nifty guitr and clawhammer banjo." Country Music Facts and News
"Another hot new grass CD for 2009 - Tommy Webb's Heartland's packed with rich heart-warming music. Tommy's been flying under the radar for a while, but this could be 'the one." Put Tommy on your must see list."
Americana Rhythm Music Magazine
“There are plenty of tight bluegrass harmonies and dexterous string picking here (check out the synchronized and syncopated playing on, Clinch Mountain Backstep”, but it is Webb’s naturally sincere lead singing that really sells these performances.” HYPERBOLIUM
“This sequel [“HEARTLAND”] to “Eastern Kentucky” was worth waiting for. This project picks up where the other one leaves off. Great song selection, thought provoking original material, and superb lead & harmony singing. After hearing Tommy’ angelic voice you want to hear more. It is very addictive. There are so many high points to this project that you can’t list them all. On a personal level, I really enjoyed his clawhammer banjo on Little Sadie and Clinch Mountain Backstep. It gave this project a great old time feel. After playing this project in total, my request line was constantly busy. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 12!!!!” Al Shusterman KCBL/Backroads Bluegrass, Sacramento, CA
“Produced by Ron Stewart, Heartland, so aptly named, finds Tommy Webb, on his third album, demonstrating a command of vocal nuance more common to a seasoned veteran, in addition to simply asserting his sturdy presence on each song through the depth of feeling he imparts.” TheBluegrassSpecial.com
“Tommy Webb, with Stewart's guidance, has put together a good project puts his name on the bluegrass map.” Country Standard Time
“One of the best of the outside songs, and perhaps the best vocal performance on the album, is the opening track, the dramatic story song ‘Teardrop Inn’, written by Mike Wells. I was engrossed by the tragic tale of a cheating West Virginia miner whose suspicious wife takes matters into her own hands.” MY KIND OF COUNTRY
“The material he has gathered for this album is very high quality, with a strong overlap with country music, although the treatment is firmly bluegrass.” MY KIND OF COUNTRY
“Tommy Webb has a very distinct, Classic Bluegrass sound and I love it! From the first couple of notes – you know it’s TOMMY – as soon as you hear that voice! Hey, what can I say HE ROCKS MY SOX OFF!!! Gracie Muldoon, WorldWideBluegrass.com
