Album Notes

"Canales revealed the soul of a native poet perhaps inhabiting John Mellencamp's
conflicting odes to simple Americana tinged with sorrow,
and the powerful physicality of Bruce Springsteen's voice,
as though The Boss were Channeling ancient spirits".
Aaron Collins Visalia Lifestyle Magazine

"Lance Canales's songs about his Grandmothers 1973 Cadillac,
his cat mojo and his ancestors are brilliant"
Thomas w. Catchpole the Mountain Press
