"A superb debut... stripped down sound... smoky voice pitched against fragile acoustic guitars... a selection of rich songs that set scenes and tell stories with simple poetic economy... subtle... as enduring as the prairies themselves... stunning."
- THE BIRMINGHAM POST (UK)

"An atmospheric Midwestern poet-troubadour, a charming presence and a splendid guitarist."
- THE BOSTON HERALD

"As strong a collection of songs as any debut is likely to be... weathered sweetness... rich and convincing... earnest and thoughtful... hints at experience which belies his 26 years... Miles from the Lightning is bound to be one of those rare debut albums that an artist's longtime fans will continue to revisit for years to come."
- DIRTY LINEN

"This debut album is simply magnificent... a singer-songwriter with an amazing gift for songs that fall somewhere in the hinterland of early Dylan, John Prine and Greg Brown, with touches of blues, country and folk."
- SOUTH HAMS NEWSPAPERS (UK)

"An intriguing songsmith... has impressed hard-to-please fellows including David Olney and Bill Morrissey... exemplary."
- THE TENNESSEAN (Nashville)

"A stunning first offering... a 27 year old singer songwriter with a dust coated voice that sounds like it's been around forever and a set of prime influences in Dylan, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and, one might guess early Tom Waits... literate, poetic and intelligent stories... will certainly seep deep between the cracks in your soul and linger there for months... Foucault's pendulum is most definitely on the upswing."
- BIRMINGHAM 101 (UK)

"Jeffrey Foucault is too young and too good. It scares me, really."
