New music, that rocks like a '70s band, but is as smooth as any John Meyer, Dave Mathews, or Jack Johnson. This CD leaves me waiting for more from the Curtis Murphy Syndicate.

Great sound. Draggin' Me Down really lifted my spirits!

Each song is what it is on this well presented Curtis Murphy Syndicate CD. What it is is a special combination of orginal songs elegantly done. At the Seams and Lines Upon Your Face are good enough to be single hits. I will give this title to friends at Christmas. Enjoy!
