Press Reviews Listen.com says "Perfect Country Pop. Like a fresh pack of smokes, Jon Cassandra's catchy-as-hell songs are alive with flavor. His vocal inflections sometimesresemble Roy Orbison with a little less gusto and a little more twang. Cassandra's band are made up of a talented bunch of pros whocontribute to the traditional Nashville country backline. The songs have the sweet slickness of a Nashville act and the gritty soul of anAustin band. One thing that really stands out about these songs is the dexterous fiddle playing." - Eric S. Editor MP3.com's Newsletter says "...drawing on a wide range of influences Jon has crafted some superb country tunes. I would consider Jon a Country modernist. Lot's ofRock and Pop influence, but enough grit and twang to keep it real Country. The production quality is good and the musicianship is topnotch. Jon writes great catchy Country songs, and really delivers the vocals. Jon Cassandra from Fairfax Virginia is a man on the move, andhe's movin' up. Check out "A Heartbreak Is Bigger In Texas", I guarantee you'll be dancin'!" - Joe Norwood, MP3 Music Dept. Was Number 1 for 9 straight weeks on MP3.com with over 30000 downloads!!!
