"I heard Fever Tree's medley of "Day Tripper/We can work it out" for the first time (that I can remember) and was blown away. The sound was so full and it didn't sound like something produced 40 years ago. This is actually 2 alblums of Fever Tree's music. They must have remained a local phenomenon because, man, I can't remember these dudes at all! If you're still rooted or partially rooted in the sixties, you might want to give this a listen."

My hat's off to Neil

"I've always found a good way to find new music is to find out who the bands you listen to enjoy. So when I came across a reference to this band in Neil Peart's book Roadshow I decided to look them up and wound up buying the album. All I can say is "Thanks Neil!" This is a solid and thoroughly enjoyable band. While they may have not been at the forefront of the psychedelia movement they are certainly worth a listen. The material runs from bluesy guitar driven tracks to laid back piano pieces, with horns, strings,and organ adding jazz and classical touches. At his heaviest the vocalist could have fronted Deep Purple, while in his softer moments I hear a touch of Neil Diamond. Most of the material is original, but they cover the likes of Wilson Pickett and the Beatles. The end result is an album that doesn't quite make the A list, but certainly shouldn't be forgotten."
A fine compilation..always was, always will be!

"While growing up in Houston, I had the opportunity to know these guys and hear them many times. I still have the original Fever Tree album and was very excited to find a CD was released so I can listen in my car. This is an exceptional piece of work by a band who was ahead of their time. There is nothing like the tonal quality of the instruments from the 60's and they don't disappoint on this LP. The boys are back and we'll never forget you! Check it out...you won't be sorry."
Psychedelia Audia Obscura

"This is a remarkable collection of music from state-side Houston group Fever Tree. Boasting a great NeilDiamondesque rock singer and an eccentric mix of instrumentation and song changes, this music is an interesting addition to your psychedelic collection. Some of it is really great and you might even recognize the "San Francisco girl" track. There is a fine group of songs starting with "sun also rises" and ending with "unlock my door" that really sticks with me."
