"Shy Dog is an amazing masterpiece of music. Kurt is brilliant. If you like the BoDeans you will love this. If you appreciate creative, moving thought provoking music, you will love this. I bought this CD when it was on Kurt's own label. Now, I plan to get the recently released version on Oarfin records. There isn't a bad song on Shy Dog. Kurt sings like an angel. The song "Hopes" is the best song I think I've ever heard."
It is worth about 7 stars

"The first time I played this there were 4 or 5 songs that stood out immediatley as thoughtful ballads or rockers like "Like I do" , "Absolution" ,"Feel", and "Perfect Blue Sky". After the third time through they all sounded good. Quality throughout in terms of intimacy, lyrics, passion and musicianship. It is a great exchange of your time to give this one plenty of listens..."
It's all good

"This album starts good and never fades. In fact, I like it more each time I listen to it. There are so many great songs, great lines, and Kurt's performance has a lot of depth and feeling. A great addition to your collection if you are a BoDeans fan, but it goes in a different direction and adds another dimension to the BoDeans sound."
Great debut effort

"For the last 15 years, Kurt Neumann has written and performed some truly inspired music with the BoDeans. His solo debut, "Shy Dog," continues the trend. The sound (at times sparse yet intimate, at times rollicking rock) is reminiscent of the BoDeans' third release, "Home." "Perfect Blue Sky" and "Like I Do" are great numbers, and title track is a poignant dedication to his late "best friend." A strong debut from end-to-end; the only fault is a throwaway curse at the beginning of "And Then This." All in all, a treat both for long-time BoDeans fans as well as anyone who can appreciate well-written songs."
A great listen or good for backround music
