"A great intimate performance here. Also, the performer has an incredible sense of timing and beat. Resembles the great folk singers of the 60's and 70's who sounded on their own as good as a full piece band." Briana Lynn, Nashville, TN..................... "This makes me feel like I'm in the best New Orleans nightclub. It is great storytelling with a live sounding track of excellent musicians. There is lots of ear candy going on in the background while the singer pulls you into his tales." Mark Coker, Blairsville, GA................... "There's no reason to dismiss Dylan similarities. Dare I say: this artist's songs are about as clever and crafty as early Dylan. He borrows "It ain't to sin to take off your skin" (my most immediate reference is Burroughs' take of it on Waits' Black Rider; I'm not sure from where it originated) and contextualizes it perfectly. He borrows Dylan's "moral of this story..." from "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" and creates a humorous alternative. But it's his licorice and liverwurst sandwich that made me realize that he's Dylan's long lost clone. In "Wolfman Blues" he has created a silly holy trinity between himself the wolfman, a lady in a yellow dress and a gypsy. This song is one of the greatest and blessed stories I've heard." Adam Fredonia, Los Angeles, CA
