Press Reviews "A nice broody kind of pop thing. A mixture and sound I don't think I've heard before. How about this? Tom Petty meets the Cure! I like it. Happy Brooding rock and roll. Intense light-hearted pop music. Heavy light weight soul music. A care free voice weighed downwith the troubles of the world. New Classics. Jumbo Shrimp. You're a conundrum and anoxymoron." ". . .female back-up vocals that sound like they were phoned in from some far away land are also quite lovable. It is starting to seem a little like a one trick pony, but it is one hell of a pony and he does do that trick rather well."Saint James WoodRegarding the song 'Do You?': "A really (no, I mean really) nice acoustic tune." William B. (Alliance of mp3 Professionals)
