Absolutely gorgeous and consistently excellent. Fans of Not Lame's Idle Jets (whose Pat Buchanan plays on this), Michael Penn and lots of jangle with their guitar sounds will not miss. His voice reminds me a bit of Al Stewart, but if you are not fan of that guys' music, do NOT let that put you off on this 11 song gem."   - Not Lame Recordings

 
Cream of the Crop Pop
"He hangs his explorations on rock solid structures, but he subverts them with surprising time signature changes, clever wordplay and twisting arrangements. Everything pivots around a perfect bridge."   - Cream of the Crop Pop

 

"A great singer/songwriter. I love his lyrics and he has great pop sensibility without sounding derivative. Comparisons to Michael Penn are dead on...but this guy has a style of his own. You'll fall in love within the first 30 seconds..."   - Jarrett Randazzo, MP3.com Copperpot Rock

"His songwriting has been compared to Randy Newman and Warren Zevon, and has placed him in the quarterfinals of the American Song Festival Lyric Competition. Clean, stellar production matches his well-crafted writing."

 
Creative Loafing Music Menu
"Local songwriter who would be accused of plagiarizing Lennon and McCartney if this were 1965. As it is, he writes melodies that Paul McCartney would claim as his own if he could get away with it. His song "Awhile To Mend" is one of the finest pop songs of the year and, if there be justice, it'll be a huge hit rather than an ignored masterpiece."

 
Creative Loafing Tape Rolling
"Music this charming isn't marketed much these days, unfortunately. Strains of vintage George Harrison and Elvis Costello can be heard from time to time in the phrasing and harmonies. Add snappy lyrics-including some humorous pokes at the music business- and delightful arrangements, with tasteful support from seasoned pros Pat Buchanan, Jerry Peek and Rod Morgenstein, and you can't go wrong."

 
Creative Loafing Borders
"He's opened for Billy Joel and composed melodies that would make Paul McCartney jealous. One of the long-standing gems of the Atlanta singer/songwriter scene is resurfacing with a set of acoustic pop tunes that are not to be missed. Pick up his full length CD, Pennies, or his newest EP, and you shall be rewarded."
