"My first introduction to this smooth and original singer & songwriter and a good one that is. It took a couple of listens before I was totally hooked to the overall mood of the album. The album includes a close to perfect four song set that starts with song number five, Dice, and continues with Always, U and This Year. It's almost as if Mr Dybdahl stands in the corner of your living room - or bedroom - while he holds the microphone very close to his mouth and sings a mix of quiet folk and gentle soul. It pays to really to listen to this album."

Excellent Album

"This guy's got a knack for pulling the heart strings. Although my fiancee calls him 'lay your body down by the fire' music--and several of the songs do lean that way--in my view this guy is focused on recapturing feelings that have been a) long buried or b) should have existed but never did. The first two songs make moves that way, the album then segues into a bit more introspective realm before coming out strong with "This Year," "Maury the Pawn" and, my favorite, "Be A Part." Don't miss this last song, it's a killer for the moody day. Check out his album _Someday You'll Dance For Me, New York_ as well..."
