Hey Randal.
The show at the Fat Cat was the best time that I have seen you play, you looked so comfortable up on that stage I dont know if it was the band, the club, or just the songs that you were playing but whatever it was worked. The difference from the last time I heard you play to that show is night and day when I first heard Dr. Zoo I feel in love with the songs but it sounded like a demo, a group of friends getting together for some kicks but now you sound like a rock star. Telling the stories between the songs and talking to the audience brought a inmate feeling to the show. I guess the one thing I am saying is that the show kicked ass.
The CD is amazing listening to the new one and the old one you see how far you have come. The first CD sounds like a demo, a great demo but a demo. 42 sounds like a pro CD. Again you sound more comfortable on this CD it is like you have grown up in the years since the first CD. Each song brings something new to the table and yet flows from the one before it and into the one after it with easily. Songs go from sounding like Blue Rodeo to Dispatch and yet stay uniquely Dr. Zoo. Not good at writing a review but I love this CD.
This has just brought my love for Dr. Zoo along with you. Keep going and stay with it waiting for the third CD and catching you the next time I can.
Love,
Krista

Randal, you have a great great great work here.
As you know, I am already a fan, but I have listened to this critically and here is what I think.
As you gain more and more fans, this will be more and more appreciated. By the way I can hear Mitch all over this recording (His influence, at least. Please make sure you send him my best).
I am on my third pass through the album and the deeper I get the more it all connects....and I have to congratulate you on a few DRAWING card tracks:
AFRICA came out great. YOU NAILED IT buddy. It needs to be released!
Growing Down blew me away. The lyrics are awesome.
40 days has always been one of my favs, as well as What Do You Want.
You Got To Know What You Need should have been titled You May Think, but it is still as great as I remembered from the first time I heard it live in St. John’s .
I may have a new favorite in Have Mercy. This one has great potential.
And the closing track is just simply brilliant (Home Now). Wow!
You’ve done your part, now you need the help to get it out there.
No matter what happens, you need to be very proud of this work.
Warm regards,
John McArthur
