A Great Effort

"The charts call this CD "alternative country." The term "alternative" can bring to mind experimental, sometimes wacko ideas. None of that will be found here. This is straightforward good music. If you want a CD with a consistent sound that you can spin up and just relax, this is it. No loud surprises. No sappy, drawn out, formula endings. Just pure humanity. Mr. Greenberg writes what he feels. Sometimes funny, sometimes insightful. Always earnest. Bring a few friends over and sit on the back porch listening to this music. It's great. Word is spreading about this guy--as well it should."

Very good first cd

"The disc contains some very excellent material and through his lyrics one can really get to realize the time and thought put into this effort. Clay's voice and the music are very good, with his Oklahoma roots showing through. Clay puts forth a great rendition of Robert Earl Keen's "Dreadful Selfish Crime", and "The House Song" with Guy Clark is priceless. This CD is a great start and one which folks who appreciate efforts like Robert Earl, Reckless Kelly, and others, should own. I saw him in Oklahoma City solo and he was very, very good. He played some material from an upcoming CD, one that I will be purchasing."
