---------------------------DEAR JOHN LETTERS
"Out of nowhere comes Rewriting The Wrongs, and I think I may have found the best album of 2001."
- Alex Green (music.yahoo.com)
"A great full-length from a band that could make a career list out of a struggling major label scout."
- Theodore Defosse (splendid)
"This is very solid indie-pop"
- (CM) Impact Press
"Sublime debut album."
- Joe Ehrbar (Seattle PI)
"Often gentle and wholesome, sometimes acrimonious, Benson's songwriting warmly refers to the Beatles."
- Corianton Hale (The Stranger)
"A pleasing, intelligent collection from a songwriter aiming for both the head and the heart."
- Adam McKibbin (Entertainment Today)
"Somehow they've balanced a contemporary indie aesthetic, an outsider musical genre, and the sounds of one of the most famous musicians of the 20th century into a contemporary album that stands on its own and makes Dear John Letters an act that seems fresh and vital instead of derivative."
- Patrick Schabe (PopMatters)
"It's got the same distant moodiness and melodrama that frames John Lennon's first two solo LP's, scaled down of course to a smaller budgeted, do-it-yourself ethos."
- (The Big Takeover)

Great album! A combination of folk and rock elements.

I really liked this CD. Some songs to me are reminiscent of Dashboard Confessionals, while others more remind me of the Postal Service. It combines what I would call an emo style with some folk/bluegrass harmonies to create a very pleasant blend of music. I'd recomend this CD to anyone who likes Dashboard Confessionals, the O Brother Where Art Though soundtrack, or just plain great music that, unfortunately, not many people know about :-). My only complaint is the lack of lyrics in the CD booklet.
