But the real magic here is in the good doctor's voice. Whiny and wound up, the frustration and tension squirm and sweat like a teenager with an advanced perspective and an above average vocabulary...a perfect lyric midway through the track. "Your life is reckless with the favors and the sex/ You've got a husband and a lover and you're living with your ex..." "...some kind of hip form of musical therapy...Neurotic, articulate and overflowing with hooks, Likely Stories rumbles with a contagious brand of sophisticated tunes" http://www.indiemusicreview.com/review.php?id=1013 Singles : "Like a Rolltop," Clint Gaige, "The Gods of Music," 7.2/10, "...sublime" http://www.godsofmusic.com/gom/reviews.php?action=detail&id=2686 Pet'ra Falk, Artist Launch.com 8.2/10 http://artistlaunch.com/review_detail.asp?reviewid=44 "Teaze," John Everett Tate IV, "The Gods of Music," 7.3/10, "...is a catchy 3:32 little diddy that energizes the ions in the air and plants the urge to sing along deep within you....A happy go lucky feel good song.. Hey, I like this guy's voice!" http://www.godsofmusic.com/gom/reviews.php?action=detail&id=3533 Paul Langiness, Artist Launch.com, 8.33/10 http://artistlaunch.com/review_detail.asp?reviewid=132 "Bliss," Tracy Snow, "The Gods of Music, National Affairs Desk," "...a truly sublime group of words sung soulfully over simple, catchy guitar chords" http://www.godsofmusic.com/gom/nad/articles.php?action=detail&ID=119 "Not One Sound,", Paul Langiness, Artist Launch.com, 8.23/10 http://artistlaunch.com/review_detail.asp?reviewid=41 "Chasing Reindeer," Quarterly Music Reviews, 7/10, "'relaxed, with conviction' feel...very original"
