“The songs are traditional but still sound up to date. Fantastic voice and solid band behind him. "Wrong Side of Town" hits home - a familiar subject but told in a different way.

Really good stuff.” - Craig Edmonds, Mama Roots Radio (July 26, 2023)

“[‘Goodbye, John’] is a classic song – Simple yet what a great story…This is one of those songs if you are fortunate to hear and see live and acoustic, you almost want it to continue. Maybe it’s me, but the acoustic song is almost an intimate letter to a dear friend and we get to experience that emotion and feeling through it. I hope to be able to see and hear this in person one day soon. THIS is a Great Song and a Great Story!! - Michael White, Program Director, Real Texas Radio (May 25, 2020)
