The CD was produced and engineered by Duane Scott. Duane’s 30 plus years in the music business has netted him platinum and double platinum recognition as producer and engineer with ELO, Dan Fogelberg and Heart. A release date for "Love Street" has been set for the first week of September 2001.

    Press Reviews
    Saldo Kreek New Releases 2000 Date received: 4/9/2001 Here's a pleasant set of gentle acoustic pop-rock on the second self-released LP by this drumless Chi-town combo. Songwriters Ray Johnson (vocals, guitars) and Tom Wade (vocals, harmonica, accordion, percussion) are ably supported by acoustic and electric bassist Dave Bieritz and Carrie Davids, who plays both conventional violin and the rarely encountered baritone violin (tuned an octave down for a rich, strong tone, it's made an appearance on several Dave Grisman LPs). Johnson and Wade harmonize beautifully as the band lovingly renders these well-crafted, thoughtful songs. Seals And Crofts came to mind, absent the ersatz orientalism (that's a compliment, by the way), as well as John Sebastian, Arlo Guthrie and other second-wave folkies. At this writing, a third long-player, recorded in and around Nashville, had just arrived. Wouldn't mind hearing it.
