“As the world turns on an unsettling axis, Richard Turgeon keeps churning out one brilliant song after another.”
— Popalooza review of “Not Ready to Die”
"Some musicians seem to have an infinite ability to compose and write brilliant songs. That's the case for Richard Turgeon.”
— LOFF.IT (Spanish culture site, translation of article here)
“Turgeon is truly one of the finest contemporary artists composing and playing roots-styled pop rock."
— POPALOOZA review of “The Journey”
“A catchy country pop rock curve that would have fit comfortably on an Eagles album. Glistening with genuine passion and intelligent insight...”

GO DEEP
"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."
“I think Richard has finally found his sweet spot, as each of his albums gets progressively better. Highly Recommended.”
– Aaron Kupferberg, PowerPopaholic
"Another winner."
“Turgeon’s flair for crafting catchy melodies—and his clear, emotive lead vocals—help make Go Deep stand out from the pack. Think Matthew Sweet circa 100% Fun and you’ll be in the ballpark.”
– John Borack, Goldmine Magazine
"A GREAT ALBUM EXPERIENCE."
“Richard Turgeon just keeps on getting better and better... This is the record Matthew Sweet should be putting out... Worthy of repeated listenings.”
– Dennis Pilon, Poprock Record
"Go Deep makes turgeon 3 for 3."
“‘Lonely Old Man’… has an Abbey Road-era Beatles vibe to it as well. It’s perfect, dammit. If you’re not yet familiar with the other 2 albums in the trilogy, I suggest you pick those up, too. They’re all highly recommended.”
– Rich Rossi, Powerpop News
“Here’s a guy who has something to say – both musically and lyrically – and the ability to hold the listener’s interest from start to finish.”
– Beverly Patersen, Something Else!

In Between the Spaces
"There isn’t a bad song on In Between the Spaces... Don’t be surprised if it ends up on this site’s best power pop albums list by year’s end."
"A power pop rock gem."
- SweetSweet Music Blog
"A corker of an album."
"Feels like that '90s U.S. rock heyday, when the lines between power pop and singer/songwriters blurred... Wonderfully anthemic, and Turgeon's guitar playing is top-notch."
- Don Valentine, I Don't Hear a Single
"Uniformly tuneful and hooky."
- Absolute Powerpop (Highly Recommended rating)
"You can feel the presence of 90's rock in it's prime"
"...like the Foo Fighters met the Beach Boys and invited Pearl Jam and Nirvana to the party. There isn't a song on the album that my feet didn't tap along to."
