What I love about (Walkin’ Through This World) is the forthrightness, the humor, the expansiveness, the defiance, and the joy! It just has a great, great feeling of “this is who I am, take me or leave me, but you’re gonna wanna take me ‘cause I’m awesome!” To hear the voice of Cidny Bullens, I mean literally the voice of Cidny Bullens in this setting—classic, countryish, rootsy rock—THAT feels remarkably fresh.

"It’s a breathtaking and beautifully-crafted piece of Americana that is his first solo release as himself, and, as such, makes a powerful statement about living life on your own terms and the freedom that comes with it."

"...the album (produced by the artist and Ray Kennedy) explores and documents the real-life story of the Nashville-based artist's nine-year gender transition. That story is bolstered by the bona fide artistic power and authority of the songs on the disc."

"Bullen's debut recording as Cidny, is another powerful personal statement. The title track, "Little Pieces," "The Gender Line," "Call Me By My Name" and "Healing the Break" are all meaningful, necessary and welcome additions to the growing playlist of songs about the trans experience."
