In the Media:

"...expressive and descriptive, flirty, dreamlike power ... visionary and fantastic...heart and soul."
-Remo Ricaldone, Lonestar Time (Italy)

"It is absolutely gorgeous. This music doesn’t just entertain, it transports. Listening causes the user to daydream... spacey and atmospheric… country and psychedelia… a little bit Chris Isaac and a little bit of The Byrds. The writing, singing, backing vocals, and instrumentation is perfection.”
-Harry Kaplan, Twangri-La

“Take a pinch of the Dead, add a little Airplane, with a dash of Byrd seed and a healthy dose of Quick Silver and Burritos, roll it up and partake of San Francisco’s White Owl Red, a refreshing psychedelic dream-like fog... Country Rock takes a dose of psychedelia...lazily flowing rhythms and west coast Folk music."
- J. Alan Taylor, The Alternate Root
