"A new age here...whoa this is kind of heavy stuff I like it very cool and different...the vocals very talented singer makes me think of a cross between Billy Ray Cyrus and Jim Morrison... guitars are soothing like old fashioned Canned Heat with a Woodstock feel to it... the harmonica always a welcome and cool addition... the mix is really mastered well... the mood is cool and different I like this guys good job... A new age here!" - Ric of Skinrabbitts, New Martinsville, West Virginia
