Truly Epic
author: Jonathan Scotts
This album can be summarized in one word: spectacular. No, even that single word does not do it justice. It relieves me to find that there is still good music being created out there.

I'm impressed!

What an achievement!
author: Roger Burglecut
Wow, what an excellent compilation of material. You guys are some talented pippers. Exceptional singing - great compositions. I was especially impressed with the bass solo piece, "Girl". "Back to Freedom" is a beautiful number, as well. Excellent job -- when does the next CD come out?

Being a peripheral part of the Folk/Blues scene in Byron Bay, Australia this kind of music is right up my alley. I think these guys are so much more talented than many in commercial rock music. The singer's voice is truly angelic and somewhat like Healy from the band Travis. They evoke a gentle folk-rock sound like the classic british bands of the 60s.
