"Plugged or unplugged, Uncle Lucius remains the Southern rock band to best in Central Texas. The quartet's recent release The Light, their fourth, finds them as resourceful and adventurous as ever, mixing rock, gospel, blues, soul, and country in a seamless whole that's become the bands motif" - Austin Chronicle

" Uncle Lucius is no mere Southern Rock band; this is boldly forward stuff" - Popshifter

"Every year we see the same usual suspect on year end "best of" album lists; and then there is another list of most under-looked albums. Chalk up The Light on that list of criminally underrated" - Glide Magazine
