• THE IRON MASK •
"Now that rock is officially post rock, the field is wide open for new blood. Enter the multifaceted Costy L.
The Iron Mask successfully melds blues, funk, Latin, soul and alternative on this collection of fine-tuned
instrumental and vocal tracks. "Bride of the Blue Fire" and "Paradise" evoke rootsy psychedelic images of David
Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name and the srcatch riffs punctuating the acid guitar solos in "Hanging,
Drawing & Quartering" demonstrate that turntable is instrument to be reckoned with. Costy L's warbling croon is
the only week link, sounding at times like a drowning Tom Petty. Singer Annie Johnson's reading of "Blues Lullaby"
is the hidden gem. With stronger vocals Costy L could blaze the same terrain as Ben Harper, Dave Matthews and Blues
Traveler."
-- Tom Semioli, The Amplifier, September 2002. |

• DIRTY SKY •
"I was impressed by the musicality of the melodies - some were very comfortable, yet very fresh. I felt the
lyrics might be more polished, but loved some of the imagery in specific lines."
-- Janet Fisher, Goodnight Kiss Music.
