CD Reviews

Falling Water River ...Amazing
E. Harvey | Salina, KS | 07/11/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD takes an amazing look at the human toll of war. Whereever you are politically really doesn't matter since you can not escape the heartfelt emotion that resonates throughout each and every song. Americana at its finest! BRAVO! Every Switchback album has it's own heart, all worth listening to over and over again."
A Beautiful and Haunting Look at War
Christine M. Knapp | 08/25/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an amazing CD- a glimpse into the personal tragedy of the death (in Iraq) of a young American Marine. The music takes listeners from the final days of Private William Henry, to his loved one's wondering "What do I do now?" We are allowed into his private thoughts and fears, his memories, then his death and journey home. We grieve with his family, and in the end are no closer to understanding why we still send our children off to war. This is not an overtly political CD; it doesn't tell us to impeach the President. It only reminds us of the horrors of war, and the shattered lives it creates. Falling Water River should be listened to by any one who thinks war is an acceptable solution to anything, and those who know better.

An extraordinary and beautifully done CD.
