Press Reviews "Allison craftily blends elements of pop, folk, rock, and soul music. Several of his best songs, in fact, take the shape of narratives that unfold in poignant, sorrowful or uplifting ways. Like a young Springsteen...the Travis Allison Band has something that sets it apart from most of the bar-band competition – songs. Real songs… and often ambitious songs." -Mike Joyce, The Washington Post "Allison's career has been nothing short of impressive." -Digital City, Inc. "If you only buy one CD this year, “Old Habits” is the ONE!” -Bob Peppler, CD Baby.com
