Press Reviews "Herrmann's voice is soulful and without pretense. His words - poetry set to music - are introspective yet universal. The songs are haunting in a way that a phrase stays with you. They convey emotion without being maudlin". Jacqueline Johnson, Billings Gazette (More reviews at http://elephantcountry.com)
