Forced Call's music touches your soul, in fact it does more than touch, it ENLIVENS your soul!  I have had the privilege of enjoying John Parker performing live at a couple of different events and Man-Oh-Man there is nothing better!

What a great CD..I just keep playing it over and over.  The songs flow so seamlessly from one to another.  I keep it in my car and play it constantly while I drive.

What a great blend of rock and blues!

A DJ friend of mine turned me on to this cd by Forced Call and I was amazed when I gave it a listen....half rock, half blues and a great mix of both. This band is really entertaining and the music on this new cd shows how much heart and soul went into the production.  Very good, guys!  I hope another cd is soon in the works - I can't wait to hear it.
