Press Reviews Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul & Mary) said:"Just got through listening to the album! congrats...nice collection. especially liked the Mary's Waltz at the end and Cast Ironat the beginning. thought the poem to Garcia was nice too." Bennie Green, of FACE magazine, said:"...there are a number of good songs here...Cressey's talent lies more in his songwriting and execution…he's assembled a good group to present his stuff...".

Additional Info I hired Molly Leikin, a songwriting consultant in LA, to listen to 5 of these songs and critique them. She said they have no melodies and that I should not use my guitar to write with. If you like any of these songs, or you like the guitar playing in them, write her at songmd@songmd.com and tell her so. Thanks.
