Album Notes

Nine Times Blue is Kirk Waldrop (lead vocals and guitar) and Eric Leland (guitar and backing vocals), with some help from Adam Leland (lead guitar) and Mike Meadows (percussion). The songs are highly influenced by Squeeze, Crowded House, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp, Marshall Crenshaw, Wilco, John Wesley Harding, and Ryan Adams.

"'So Much Time' and 'Reasons Why' recall John Mellancamp's pop rock from 'Scarecrow'."
- David J. Klug, Indie-Music.com

"'Reasons Why' and 'So Much Time' are sugary sweet, Matthew Sweet, bubble-gum pop tunes."
- Gregory Nicoll, Creative Loafing

"Clean-cut jangly rock. There's a hint of Southern flavor here, but the debt is owed to R.E.M., not Skynard. I don't know if I'll ever get "Reasons Why" out of my head!"
- Marc Pilvinsky, The Flagpole

"A solid rock-folk debut for Waldrop."
- Care Thompson, The Red and the Black
