General comments:
An interesting array of hooks employed in his playing; it works! Good, creative string accompaniment, nice guitar work with a pleasant rock beat infusing the otherwise folky tone of the recording. Good finding a banjo used creatively again.
His voice possesses a nice smokey tone to it. A softness that works well with the material. (Anachro1@pacbell.net)

Good poetry in the lyrics. Good moody moments, and a sense of fun as well.
I don't often get to say this about Ecto type artists, but he made me want to get up and dance, dammit!
Buy this. It will make you smile. The production is delightful. (Anachro1@pacbell.net)
