“" Leyco's full-bodied, folk-inspired voice is equally suited to sultry ballads as it is to pop-driven rock. In many performances, Leyco, whose voice bears a striking resemblance to Natalie Merchant's, will roll these two styles into one song, taking the listener from 0 to 60 in a matter of minutes."” - Karen Gardner
