"...one of Vancouver's most promising singer/songwriters."
Adrian Mack
The Georgia Straight
"...there is something deep and invigorating in both the songwriting and attack... Not alot of songwriters out there can deliver an infectious hook while keeping the theme so honest, timeless and heavy. Steve Earle's got that going for him. Springsteen in his darker moments. Jeff Tweedy, too... Farr shows signs of that same touch throughout Mississippi Live, and it makes a music fan excited about what lies ahead."

“Connely’s brilliance in song writing is evident throughout the album, but what makes ‘mississippi live” distinct is the ease of emotion put into these songs. No lyric or note seems forced. It’s as if Connely has been doing this since he was a kid, playing guitar with his family on a porch... and is simply living out his dream...”

“nostalgic, emotional and melodic worn… The music not only speaks for itself, but also activates the imagination. Volatile, but impressive. The music is sultry, moody, searching… very clever songs, bursting with ideas.”

"Mississippi Live"
author: John Breckenridge
This is one stellar CD from start to finish. The lyrics are stellar, the instrumentals are perfect, Vocies are incredible. harmonies are beautiful
All 12 songs are excellent and full of quality, it is actually hard to pick a favorite, however I would start with, "Spiritual Man", then it would be tough as "Going Down", "Dowtown Eastside", "The Sea Is Now", and "Tones of Home" are outstanding also.
I definitely am hooked on Connely Farr, Jon Wood, Mark Green, & Nina or Mississippi. Cannot wait until they release their 2nd CD.
