What the Industry has to say about "Crossing the Line"

"Excellent and noteworthy, appealing to Americana and music enthusiasts alike."

"Washington resident Garr is a singer and a songwriter. Let me correct myself, Garr is a superb singer and a wonderful songwriter. Here we have the debut of a talent every bit as good as anything in 'Billboard's' top five, a guy who can coax every ounce of emotion from a heart ballad. One who defies the listener not to hit the dance floor when he turns out a rocker? Garr just knocked me out. Enough said."
Pete Smith's Rock Pile, England
