"Once in a while...DIY rookies will use their record releas(e) to astound and amaze us. Eric Folkerth is one of these....The song writing on this record is just amazing...Eric has proven with this CD that he's not just another coffeehouse guitar strummer. He is a legitimate singer/songwriter that is waiting to be discovered, and I hope it won't be long until he is."
