"Sometimes one has just got to give things a chance.i had met him and wouldn't have thought him a songwriter really. Very self-effacing fellow really, but lots of fun. Then, during SXSW in austin, I heard him sing. The pure emotive quality of his voice caught me first. Then i heard the songs for what they were. Yes, he is quite a story teller- heck of a way with words actually.



After another trip to see him, I walked away hooked. i can't quite pull up what it is, but something about the words and he music just sticks with me. Maybe it's the poet in me that hears the one in him. I just know I can't seem to get certain phrases from this CD out of my head, so I play it over and over.

it will have to suffice too, 'cos I think the fellow can go somewhere with this. Take a listen, and be prepared to be swept up in it. It can haunt your dreams.

"

Love his whiney voice and lyrics

"I saw this guy touring with Reckless Kelly in Birmingham, AL. I enjoyed him more than RK. I am a big RK fan. I bought his album there, like I have done a dozen times before, to no avail. Thank god, it was actually good. Now I wish I would have gotten there sooner. He sounded great. Very understated, but great sound. Now that I listened to his album, I really want to see him again. It will take a few albums to get him going, but I think he will get there. He is a huge talent. I hope he does not go the Lyle Lovette route as he is better than that (though he does a great impersonation). If he continues to do what he should he will be successful in his own right. High marks!"
