    author: pubrockville

    I don't want to be over the top, but this is an excellent collection that any fan of Alex's or Clover's should own. If nothing else, Alex has a knack for writing listenable songs with great melodies. Well. Done.

  • Hot stuff from a real songwriting master
    author: Danny Carnahan

    I've been waiting years for new Alex Call songs after humming his wonderful old Clover songs happily for 25 years. Delighted to find that he still has the touch for a killer hook and the perfect lyric. This CD deserves wide acclaim.

  • Great voice, intelligent lyrics with a sense of humor.
    author: Leslie

    I saw Alex perform at the Bluebird while visiting there and had to get his CD if only for his song There But For You Go I. A great romantic song, designed to tug at the heartstrings of anyone in love. But the whole CD is full of great songs. Great voice, intelligent lyrics with a sense of humor, and a nice western twang to the guitar accompaniment.

  • Great Album
    author: Rich

    One of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Alex Call is a great writer. Now if only I could get the first album on CD I could die happy.

  • Alex Call rocks....intelligently!
    author: Dee

    This CD is all hits. The writing is intelligent, the composition outstanding. It's also funny & sad & lots of fun. Just the way a good country rock album should be. I love it! I love Alex' voice. And no, we're not related.

  • Outstanding singer/songwriter!!!
    author: Stephan Petersen (Bay-Area-Bands.com, Clover-Infopage.com)

    There's a reason why the German Rolling Stone (June 1998) recommended Alex Call's last album "Book of Time" for "Songwriter Album of the Year" and this reason can be heard on "Incredibly Thick" as well. All of the songs sound like hits (867-5309/Jenny obviously was) - no matter if the songs are about love, politics or the simple things in life.

  • Alex Call is a brilliant songwriter and this album rocks! I
    author: Tia from Fawn Ti Music, Nashville

    Alex Call is a brilliant songwriter and this album rocks! I recommend that all who love great music and lyrics buy Incredibly Thick. Alex is funny, witty, deep, and just plain knows how to write a hit song!!!!
