Contango has found a permanent home in my car's CD player. The more I listen, the more I like it. I find myself humming the tunes even when I'm not in the car. Good work all. Great arranging and production values! When's the next CD coming out?

A refreshing tonic for contemporary radio malaise
author: Steve Waite
Contango's debut release is a breath of fresh air and a joy to listen to in this day and age of formulaic, watered down music. The arrangements are superb, the playing is terrific (especially the guitars!), and the overall sound of the record is fantastic. As with other quality products, this CD gets better and better upon repeated listening. I'm long Contango and a buyer on any weakness.

Creative, polished, conceived from pure talent, a pleasure to hear.
author: Rob Davis
Contango is a thoroughly enjoyable listen, combining creative musicality with great vocal technique as well as compelling and creative lyrics. Hunt Taylor exemplifies that rare artist who combines all the talents needed to provide that special moment of listening delight. Good work Hunt.

Gets better and better each time!
author: Patricia Taylor
This album *rocks*. I've discovered lots of places to play it: hanging out, cooking, working out... especially driving! The tunes get better and better with each playing. I appreciate the originality, ultra-high musical talent, and diversity of each of the songs. The meodies and words linger, evoking all sorts of feelings. All in all, a truly unique work of art.
