Press Reviews "...They use every trick in the MTV generation trade to sound as radio-friendly as possible, ...somewhere between your good old classic rock ballad and a STEVIE RAY (VAUGHN) blues song..."Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater" throws in a little rapping throwdown that can't be beat...They are all very talented musicians with a good feel for what they want to sound like. The mix of old-fashioned blues, classic rocking and air-friendly pop sound blend well for a good buy.... " Dante Bettis "Enigma" Music Magazine 6/21/01, printed edition, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA http://www.enigmaonline.com____________________________________________________________________________________________ "...She keeps reminding me of GRACE SLICK.. WITNESS/HEART/VIXEN, PAT BENATAR...catchy poprocker "Ready To Go" (is) kinda like RICK SPRINGFIELD..."Not Gonna Let It Rain" sounds like a laid-back WHITESNAKE...This band can really make good music." Gabor Kleinbloesome in Strutter, September 3, 2001 THE NETHERLANDS ... http://www.strutter.8m.com __________________________________________________________________________AND FROM ITALY'S SLAM ! Rock Party Zine: ...There are some good compositions, and above all that, deep roots. They fish from a full repertoire and songs like "Not Gonna Let It Rain" have seeds of dance music...the blues of "ATF", "Where You Been, Baby", and "Caught" are the best interpretations from CC. "Jesus Said" is a mix between LYNYRD SKYNYRD and LENNY KRAVITZ..." (Americanized version of Moreno Lissoni's review was taken from the December 2001/ January 2002 issue, page 12 of the English NewBandz link at http://www.slamrock.f2s.com)
