"Abe Partridge has established himself as one of the most respected songwriters and visual folk artists in the southeast. His sound ranges from the earthy to the surreal, and has had his lyrics compared to Townes, Guy or Rodney hitting on spiritual high to the dark seeds of depression, Partridge draws listeners in with a combination of southern gothic storytelling, dry humor, and gripping intensity." 
- American Songwriter Magazine

"Partridge’s raw, emotional attack and stirringly honest lyricism balanced between the deeply, heart-achingly personal and the political. Partridge was one of the most compelling artists I stumbled upon."
- No Depression

"From the path of righteousness to despair and finding your own personal path to salvation, Abe Partridge's life has taken many twists and turns. From Fundamentalist Baptist pastor to singer/songwriter and artist, he has finally found himself through art and music." 
- Alabama Public Television

"He pushes out sharp and edgy lyrics that isn’t really Country and really isn’t ANY kind of genre, it’s just good music. period. He isn’t trying to be like anybody but Abe Partridge, and he isn’t trying to look like anybody else..but he does print “This Machine Kills” like Mr. Woody Guthrie did."
- Gary Hayes, Gary Hayes Country

"...Partridge sounds like a prodigy of Townes, Guy and Rodney the way his lyrics poetically twist and turn via a grizzled and lived in voice over a jagged acoustic guitar"
- Alan Harrison - The Rocking Magpie

"To call Partridge a singer-songwriter/guitarist would be a disservice. He’s far more than that. He doesn’t just wear his heart on his sleeve, but rips out the one in his chest, displaying the still-pumping life source for anyone to see."
- Tony Paris, Creative Loafing Atlanta

"I wasn’t there in the early coffee house days of the likes of John Prine or Guy Clark but I did recently stumble across Abe Partridge and felt the same excitement of discovering a true American original. Rough hewn out of the earthy heart and soul of the South his songs are incisive, funny/sad and best of all, despite the greats I’ve mentioned beyond comparison, remain unique to just him."
- Keith Glass, owner - Mobile Records, music writer / producer / performer

"It takes a rare specimen who can sing like he gargles with ancient gravel soaked in Kamchatka vodka and still make it sound appealing, but that's only one of Alabama's Abe Partridge's many gifts. It probably didn't hurt he was a former Baptist minister who became an avionics technician in the Air Force, spent 100 days in Qatar and still works on Hurricane planes. What is most striking about this musician is just how much his own man he is. He obviously tuned into a different drummer early in life and has been chasing that sound ever since. At heart, though, Abe Partridge sounds like he waits for inner inspiration to take over his soul and then lets it rip. He's no doubt seen life from all sides of the carnival and knows there are no givens: everything is up for grabs and everyone needs to hold on to what they've got. Partridge has the gift of music tattooed in his guts and isn't afraid of showing it however he can. Listen very close."
- Bill Bentley, Bentley's Bandstand

"I'd never heard Abe Partridge's songs prior to his coming into Studio H2O and no idea as what to expect. Within seconds of hearing the first song we recorded, I was fixated by both the strength of his unique vocal style and the compelling poetry and imagery in his songs. I usually avoid comparisons, as they tend to be misconstrued, but Abe Partridge is cut from the same cloth as Waits, Dylan, and Cohen. Not that he "sounds" like any of them. Quite the contrary, but that his songs and delivery have a superbly defined style that is all his own is undeniable."
- Rick Hirsch, guitarist of Wet Willie - member, Alabama Music Hall of Fame
