Bordeaux
author: Paul Torres
When great lyrics, fanciful melodies, strong musicianship and fantastic vocals blend together then those artificial boundaries of Rock/Country/Pop and Jazz fade away.
I think this CD has joy and invites you to listen because it offers layers and layers waiting to be discovered, like a great Bordeaux this project gets better and better with each sip.

Reboot - A Real Beauty
author: Del Chandler
Wow, what great sounds. A mix of country, jazz and contemporary folk. Both vocals and instrumentals are very good. I had a couple favorites: This Old Shirt, Moon Over New Meadows, and the Relax Game. Then get ready for Highway 104. Keep your ear tuned to Bob Littleton on his steel guitar.
Great stuff. I have heard them live. they are great. And this album is the bomb. You got to get it. Already loaded on my Nano.
When is the next album coming out?

Nothing To Be Guilty About
author: Tim Mehren
Brian Kilcourse the The Guilty Saints have been making music since the '70s, and if they aren't careful they're going to someday be an overnight sensation. The selections on their Reboot offering are a blend of a little country, a little rock, a taste of jazz and more. I swore I heard Bob Dylan wander by a couple of times too. If you're looking for something beyond cookie-cutter, that you can understand and enjoy, but this down and REBOOT.

The perfect mix...
author: Verlin Y
Brian and The Guilty Saints have done an all around masterful job - great writing, great playing, great recording, and great organization. Each song is good on its own, but to be truly appreciated you need to listen to the whole CD. First, after just a couple of songs comes the realization that there is an amazing combination of influences behind the music, making each song a wonderful discovery. Second, the number of styles matches the number of influences proving that Klcourse and The Saints can't be pigeon-holded into a single monotonouse genre. Third, after a number of listenings, you start to find multiple layers of meaning and message - each powerful on its own but really impactful when pulled together. If you want variety, discovery, enjoyment and a surprise "trompe d'oreille" this is the CD for you. Anticipating the next work from this team.
