Press Reviews "For us a really bright catchy song with jangling guitars and a violin that is reminiscent of some of John Mellencamp's best music. Desperate Angels is uplifing and if the harmonies don't have you singing along on the chorus you may need to check to see if your address is a cemetery."--Cannon Broadcasting "Bill Carroll writes the best songs you've never heard ..." --David Howard, Parkersburg W.Va. SENTINEL, 1988
