"Sounding like Randy Newman in his heyday, Digney wrangles up 12 new songs that bubble with grooves so infectious, you're going to need a good liniment to work them out" - Doug Sloan, Metronome Magazine
KDHX - St. Louis, MO - Letter from the Line (track 8 - Talk of the Town) "A stunning song about a soldier writing home. The lines in the middle about killing a man in the line of duty are absolutely chilling."
