“Take one listen to his gritty songs about life and surviving and you’ll recognize the soul of a poet. His music is raw and intelligent. Godfrey plays honest blues-tinged Americana with the best of them.”
- Performing Songwriter Magazine

“Arthur Godfrey writes and sings night songs. They should be listened to in the evening. He is at his best telling the human condition. His voice is a raspy and unsettling instrument that demands to be taken seriously, and it is the perfect voice for his songs. Arthur is not kidding. There is something holy about  that, about putting your heart and truth on the line in a song. He does it beautifully. I salute him. ‘Broken Wings’ is a wonderful record.”
- Mary Gauthier, Singer/Songwriter

“Arthur is the real deal and his new record proves it. Heartfelt, well-crafted songs are what I like and there are plenty on ‘Broken Wings’. Give this man’s CD a chance or I will personally come and ‘kick your ass’ and don’t think I won’t.”
- Paul Thorn, Singer/Songwriter  

“Arthur’s ‘take no prisoners’ attitude is reflected in his absolutely genuine songs and kick-ass performance style. It is raw and real and based on reality. As the winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest’s Maxell song of the Year, Arthur Godfrey wowed the judges and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is the real deal. His song ‘Amen’ was selected from over 25,000 entries.”
- Brian Rothschild, Executive Director, John Lennon Songwriting Contest

“Beautifully tattered, wasted male folk threading Americana, Country and Blues into a whiskey-toned, rugged pattern of mellow ache and conditional optimism. Like blending Tom Waits and Joe Cocker, Arthur Godfrey captures a sound that is simultaneously raw and abrasive as well as warm, sweet and full-bodied. His music is a refreshing break from the overproduced, shiny, lacquered trends in popular music …. he reminds us that there is more to be said through simple exposed songs with the shirt tail  hanging out.” 
- CD Baby

“As a lyricist, Godfrey is plainspoken but poetic and his songs call to mind Springsteen’s ‘Nebraska’. But Godfrey is his own man and it shows in his spare, specific lyrics. The entire record is all sweat, sex and meanness …. and it’s irresistible.”

“A mix of Folk and Blues from a passionate soul …. the stuff that a generation brought up on Bruce Springsteen can tune into today. Explosive roots music.”
