"New Yorker Paul Zunno put together a real solid album here. I've seen him live many times and he skillfully catches the energy and moods of his more acoustically-oriented shows. "Say Yeah" kicks in with a little Dylan-esque style romp, which sets the tone for the disc. Zunno also cut a great version of his own classic "Charlotte", easily the centerpiece of the album, and one of his strongest written songs about a unique crush on a woman in the world's oldest profession. He also throws in high energy blues ("Buzzin," "Fire Alarm"), some mellow folk rock on "Blue Sky", and slower, darker tunes such as "Always Do", and "Everybody's Girl." The artwork and CD title are hokey, but it's all about the music, right? Pick up this CD, and if you are in NY make sure to go see Paul Zunno live, you will not be disappointed!!"

Somehow, it all works

"Ecclectic, but not confusing. You start out feeling that Zunno is a capable interpreter of classic americana, but when you get to "Everybody's Girl" - you recognize his vocal ability, "Buzzin" - his guitarplaying, "This Love" - his songwriting skills, and "Fire Alarm" - his knack for arrangements. A total pro."
