“Forthright as they are, Cannon says that digging [is] easier than skirting the issues, or making up fictional stories…”
— BILLBOARD
“Music for grown ups…”
— COUNTRY MUSIC PEOPLE
"Beggar is as warm as it is emotional. I can hardly wait for the Love Addict full length album so I can dive in for a good, long swim."
— GONZOOKANAGAN
“…Generally writing most current artists under the table.”
— SAVING COUNTRY MUSIC
“Dolly Would Be Proud!”
— SOUNDS LIKE NASHVILLE
“Cannon’s voice is by turns sweet, sassy, and big enough to fill an arena. She shows that not only is she a good singer and songwriter, but also a good storyteller.”
— GLIDE MAGAZINE
“Cannon’s songs approach the tough side of life candidly and with humor; the tales she tells are full of authentic detail. Also, she’s a top-class performer.”
— AMERICANA UK
“She turns something from her own life into something universal in the way great songwriters always have and has the kind of honest, vulnerable vocal style needed to tell this story herself. This is great American music on the level of Loretta Lynn and Kris Kristofferson.”
— ROCK AND BLUES MUSE
“Up there with songwriters like Kacey Musgraves and Megan Moroney, with her tongue-in-cheek playfulness and her softened edged classic country sound.”
— HOLLER
“If you can balance serious subject matter with just the right amount of self-deprecation, you get something both revealing and eminently listenable. Caitlin Cannon’s latest release, The TrashCannon Album, is a big ol’ bucket of country wordplay with a lethally sharp edge.”
— LOST HIGHWAY
“Such a spicy and diverse effort with such great instrumentation and varying tempers, The TrashCannon Album is like a romp through a country roots history book, and touches all the erogenous zones of the musical palette… By the end, you’re wondering if you haven’t just listened to one of the best and most cohesive works forwarded for public consumption all year.”
— SAVING COUNTRY MUSIC
“Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman, and Caitlin Cannon has stories of social injustice, family screw-ups, sexism, alcoholism and more on [The] TrashCannon Album. Sounds like a barrel of laughs, right? Well, actually, it’s hard not to enjoy, especially as she wraps it all up in strong melodies and a white trash attitude frequently under-pinned by 60s-feeling pop grooves.”
— COUNTRY MUSIC PEOPLE
“Caitlin Cannon’s songs explore the vast, murky space between what we’re promised and what life actually decides to give us."
— AMERICANA HIGHWAYS
With beautifully-layered instrumentation, ‘The Alchemist’ is delivered with a rich, full sound and the result is timeless. In this live reincarnation of the song, we have electric guitar from Adam Meisterhans, which blends with Frank Rische’s acoustic and Jonathan Beam’s warm bass, driving a compelling melody and creating a foundation for Cannon’s smooth, tuneful voice, perfect for country. Further textures are provided by Taylor Floreth’s percussion, Ryan Keith on keys and Eddy Dunlap’s pedal steel, which is simply exquisite.
— AMERICANA UK
“…Ethereal, vintage-inspired sound.”

"The song shows off Cannon’s clever and inventive side of songwriting to go with her more heartfelt and vulnerable material." - Saving Country Music
"It’s the fearlessness that Caitlin Cannon brings to her songs that has made her so unique and compelling in both the songwriting and country music space." - Saving Country Music
"Few if any songwriters exhibit the fearlessness towards the art form that country music’s Caitlin Cannon does. Unfiltered, and in certain cases, uninhibited, she’s willing to go to the places that all of our minds do—as do many of our personal historis—but that delve into subjects often banished to the shadows of polite society since they’re considered taboo or verboten. Caitlin Cannon though, she dives right in." - Saving Country Music
"Under the belief that songwriting is an act of mercilessly unburdening your soul and engaging in brutal honesty, she’s going to say what her heart feels, and hope the world comprehends." - Saving Country Music
"...infectious, cosmic country" - Holler
"...what promises to be one of the most wonderfully eccentric americana records you'll hear all year." - Holler
"Dr. Dealer' by Caitlin Cannon is an undeniable bob that reminds me of the groovy 80s. With a tune that rolls your shoulders and taps your feet for you, this song feels at home both on this list and any classic playlists you've got out there." - Wide Open Country
“It’s hard to imagine another country album as effortlessly cool as Caitlin Cannon’s Love Addict.”- The Nashville Scene
"Caitlin Cannon is a powerhouse singer, songwriter, actor, and comedian. Her new record Love Addict is chock full of bangers that grabbed me on the first listen. It’s got country in it with some psychedelica. The album is a sonic and lyrical journey that pushes the envelope." - The Marinade
"Is anyone better at writing from the POV of the seedy underbelly with such empathy and respect for the people they see around them? A bawdy, ribald triumph that shows further refinement of the “trash cannon” in form. Hers is a singular and essential perspective." - Country Universe
“…a glorious combination of Cannon’s direct, sometimes snarky, lyrics set to a lush soundtrack blending old and new.” - Twangville
“…whether you’re a fan of the strings or the lyrics or both, Caitlin Cannon’s Love Addict should be on your short list this year.” - Twangville
"Cannon is a sassy country music rebel known for her edge and wit, but this Americana tune has a melancholy Elliott-Smith-esque undertone to it" - RIFF Magazine
“…dreamy Americana, classic country with gritty grooves that are impressively evocative.” - Americana Highways
“…her own entertaining & compelling showcase” - Americana Highways
“Caitlin is a sensitive, well-articulated vocalist.” - Americana Highways
"The album has nods to the classic 60s Countrypolitan sound without being strictly a country record and is Cannon’s most sophisticated work to date." - Lonesome Highway
"LOVE ADDICT is a body of work that does not slot easily into any single genre. Loaded with killer tracks, the results are spectacular in places, and the marriage of Cannon's writing and vocals and Arriaga's arrangements is quite stunning, and a throwback to the best Countrypolitan sounds of the late '60s and early '70s." - Lonesome Highway
“Three chords and the truth for the broken, the downtrodden and the losers everywhere” - The Rocking Magpie
“Open minded, sometimes even open ended, singer-songwriter Caitlin Cannon’s music spans a broad spectrum as she re-invents Country Music of the 1960s and 70s, bringing that era kicking into today’s technical driven, modern day world.” - The Rocking Magpie
“…these songs show a singer and songwriter on the cusp of a great leap forward.” - The Rocking Magpie
"Cannon is a sassy country music rebel known for her edge and wit, but this Americana tune has a melancholy Elliott-Smith-esque undertone to it" - RIFF Magazine
"Caitlin Cannon helps others feel seen in her music..Her new album, Love Addict, is her boldest work to date, blending Americana and country with intergalactic elements to form a celestial soundscape that the press calls 'cosmicana.' Still, this refreshing sound is paired with Caitlin’s relatable songwriting, taking us on a journey full of passion, hurt, and other incessant emotions." - Melodic Magazine
"Overall, Love Addict is more than its title implies, more than just a collection of songs that showcase a constant need for love—it is a fully formed look at the way that love can evolve." - Melodic Magazine
"A brazen combination of dreamscape Americana, floating Psychedelia, studio wizardry accents, and Classic Country backbeats are the platform that Caitlin Cannon ascends to accept the crown of Love Addict." - The Alternate Root
"Vocals loaded with emotion and gut-punch storytelling are the common factor in Love Addict as the musical landscape shifts underneath the real-life tales." - The Alternate Root
“She’s not a songwriter for the winners; she's a songwriter for the broken, the downtrodden, the losers, the motherfuckers. She sings about real shit that most other songwriters don't have the guts to broach. A crack pool player and a hilarious person on stage who could have a second career as a comedian, Caitlin Cannon is one of those country artists that slides so criminally under the radar; it angers the blood.”
