No Reason is the reason to buy this disc.  Dave's strength is in his song writing and acoustic expression.  I know he rocks.  This album shows that.  His public performances show that.  But when you are in his living room, if you are so lucky...and you hear and feel him stroke the guitar and sing with his sweet eyes closed, well then my friends you have him at his finest.  No Reason is as close to that feeling as you can get without being there in Rochester's wild lands...

The songs on this cd touch my heart because of how the artist personizes all of them. I am especially fond of No reason, it manages to touch you somewhere deep down. Just when your feeling a certain way, your lifted higher with 55, the track One chance is another favorite because of it's unique lyrics.Mississippi Mud goes without saying, the diversity and depth of this music is what makes it special and stand out.Good job!!!!!!!

"A little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll, sometimes acoustic, sometimes pop we heard the many faces of Rochester singer/songwriter, Dave McGrath on his new self-titled CD. The very talented McGrath sings with great emotion, boasting well-crafted tunes that showcase such feeling. My favorite, "Alone," is a beautiful and melancholy track that illustrates the depth of this artist

I purchased this CD after Dave and his band played a gig at a local automobile dealership...I was mesmerized by his sound and the CD is just as mesmerizing.

Dave writes an intelligent song complimented by very engaging music that pulls you in and relates to anyones life experience...he has that knack of being able to touch you with his song.

"No Reason" is my favorite track on the release, a haunting tune of loss that sticks with you...I find myself singing the song all the time.  Other tracks that standout for me are "55", "Tempers", "Mississippi Mud"...though there is not a weak track on this release.

The CD crosses over from country to rock and is appealing to a wide audience.  It is very much worth the money...it is the kind of CD that will remain in your regular CD playlist.
The writing, playing and production is top-notch.
