What they said about her Tough Like a Weed album:


"Jan spins her tales of life and growing up using concrete images while slipping with ease from genre to genre.  She has a remarkable ability to make you believe and remember."
- Songwriter's Monthly

"Luby's voice is engaging, emotive and candid...as close to perfection as can be.  If the listener doesn't get goosebumps...they might want to double check themselves for a pulse."
- Michael Khouri, Northeast Performer

What they're saying about Nobody's Girl:


"This is a well crafted work from a talented artist with lots of great songs."

- Deb Anderson, KZUM FM Radio


"Jan Luby is a jewel of a singer-songwriter. Her new CD Nobody’s Girl showcases many of Luby’s organic, heart-felt translations of life into words and music. Luby infuses each of these songs with emotional honesty. Listeners will be certain to relate to what she is saying as they feel what she was feeling when she wrote and recorded these shiny true to life gems...Luby has come up with something truly special here. She makes many aspects of womanhood very realistic in her gritty, unforgiving details and emotional honesty. The music that supports her hearty themes are full of many nuanced melodies..."

and...

" Luby’s an accomplished songwriter, who makes the whole process sound as natural as breathing. She tells a good story, too, and most of them appear to be personal with their fair share of heartbreak and a little humour to sugar the pill. “Nobody’s Girl” is a pleasure from start to end...Put plainly, “Nobody’s Girl” is a fine collection that deserves its own award. Rhode Islanders take note – and everyone else, too."
