Amish Love Child Is Here to Stay!
author: Ingrid Karson
I'm blown away - Such "Bull's Eye" lyrics. It hits home, it hurts, it heals, and it's real. Among my favorites are: "Pay Check to Pay Check" - I feel there is a slight hint of bluegrass/rock feel to it. "PBR Vacation" is bound to show up on a soundtrack CD one of these days, and "Fire" is both mellow and rocking at the same time.

Pop for the Proletariat
author: The Pop!Machine Zine
I was lucky enough to find this CD on the local shelf at KWVA 88.1 FM right before the CD release party and was pleasently pleased by the quality of musical craftminship. I played the first track on the air and have made sure to play each other one at least once. Sharp lyrics and lush full instrumentation roll out of each track. A hint of twang echos through the album. I am blow away that this quality of music is being produced in Eugene, Oregon. If you are a working class hero that enjoys pop music with message then you need Amish Love Child. RYL: Brandos, Fleetwood Mac, Abandon Ship, Nature Boy Saints, and Charlie Sexton.

Decribes American lifestyle (or lack thereof) perfectly!
author: Debra F.
It would be impossible for me to say which song on the CD is my personal favorite. As I listen to each song, I find myself recalling some past experience in my own life that rises to the surface. Snidley Whiplash most DEFINITELY reminds me of my prior in-laws (shudder shudder)! They nearly sent ME on a PBR Vacation!
