Today, UPROXX premiered a live video of Bell covering John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" and said "...he might sing like he's from fifty years ago, but he's part of country music's bright future."

Benjamin Booker, Hurray For The Riff Raff) at The Bomb Shelter studio in East Nashville, TN.
NPR
Music premiered the video for his single "
Sometimes" and said "Luke Bell has a classic, brassy country voice that conjures images of both dimples and tears in a beer. His songs exist somewhere in the same arena, because just as easy as it to be charmed by Bell's clever turns of phrase, he'll hit you upside the head." Bell also sat down with NPR's Scott
Simon for an interview on Weekend Edition about his new album.
Zane Lowe premiered his single "Where Ya Been" on his Beats 1 show as a "World First."
The Fader shared his single "
Sometimes" and said, "...his music sounds like you could have heard it in the same honky tonk Hank Williams used to play (with the exception of a little profanity)."
Acclaim for Luke Bell:
"A rough-around-the-edges return to country traditionalism, full of honky-tonk shuffles, steel solos and the big, booming baritone of a former ranch hand who's actually lived the cowboy lifestyle."
- Rolling Stone
"...Raw and energetic, rooted in country tradition with a strong dose of the literate facet of the folk tradition." - The Los Angeles Times
"...His music sounds like you could have heard it in the same honky tonk Hank Williams used to play (with the exception of a little profanity)." - The Fader
"Swirling
Buddy Holly quirk and
Elvis Presley quivers into his classic country constructions, there's a freshness to his interpretation of the genre..." - The Bluegrass Situation
"This is the way it felt when Sturgill Simpson's first band Sunday Valley showed up in the inbox..."
- Saving Country Music
