EXCEPTIONAL!
author: Marisa Coutts
Jim Inscore's music and performance career has its genesis in this CD. Each personal composition is engaging. Genuine lyrics lace exceptional delivery. All tracks hold together marvellously. Jim's confidence is secure. Time is on his side. I recognise a promising singer-songwriter I hope to experience live soon.

Fresh alt-rock rewards repeated listenings
author: Russ Tomlin
This is wisdom-imbued rock that's gritty where it should be, sweet where it should be, hum and sing-alongable, confident, distinctive lyric-wise, with the two voices (Inscore and Bonnie Hayes)really complimenting one another. I liked too being surprised at certain points during the six songs: I expected a zig but got a zag (if you've listened to the amount of music I have over the years you appreciate stuff like that). Give this CD a listen; the guy's been around the block a few times and tells about it straight up. Then give it another and see if you don't crank it up a notch.

We need more songs!
author: Alan Monday
When I first heard Jim's work it was a very interesting
experience. The rough cut only had two songs, but I found
myself playing them quite frequently. I remember thinking
at the time, "I've got to hear more of this artist." I
felt a connection with my musical roots of the '70s but
without the disruptive intrusion of thoughts about who this
vocal sounds like or what song that guitar lick reminds me
of. Jim's music is unique but familar, somehow....very
comfortable for me.
With this CD, the production values are tight and with the
band behind him, the sound is very full and pleasing.
But, it's the lyrics that really rock me. There is real
poetry here. I'm very glad he included the complete text
of his 6 lyrical efforts. Some of it is funny, some is
thoughtful, but all of it is warm, upbeat and positive.
All I can say now, is, I'm hooked. And, Jim, we need more
songs!
