"I received my copy of this album yesterday, and I feel like a kid in school. I am thoroughly excited about this album, and this band. First off, with all due respect, my parents are certainly not this cool. This being said, Doug had me "air-drumming" within the first two songs on the album. In an age of computer generated beats, Doug's rat-a-tat made me wish that I took drum lessons as a kid. John's guitar certainly gave the band a real pair of "balls" for lack of a better word. I think this is where some of the AC/DC comparisons have come in. I don't know how much they are warranted, but I understand it inasmuch as the guitar parts infect the band's sound with a certain electricity that absolutely rocks. Barbara's vocals are the best that I've heard from any artist in a real, real long time. In some songs, she reminds me of Patti Smith, but then I hear Lucinda Williams, Stevie Nicks, and even maybe a little Pat Benatar. All I can really say is that she is tremendously, and fabulously...cool in a real "rock-star" kind of way. I am loving this album, and strongly encouraging you to check it out.

"I didn't even know of this band until i
heard them on XM Radio a few months ago,
I don't know why they're not bigger than
they are, it's not for lack of talent.
They remind me of the early version of
the Pretenders, with a dash of Lone Justice
thrown in. Great mix of rockers and ballads."
I have been in Johnny Rock's Cantina.

"Johny Rock's Cantina is an amazing song. But is a place too, and the music you can listen to in that place is always pure and simple rock and roll. Find the place starting with this record. You won't be dissapointed."
