Jackson Griffith, Sacramento News & Review 10/28/04
At the forefront of Sacramento's recent explosion of first-rate Americana acts is Richard March, who holds court these days every Wednesday night at the Blue Lamp's "Nashville Nights" feature, along with Scott McChane and whatever guest they rope in. This CD, cut with March's band at David Houston's studio, frames the local singer-songwriter as a homegrown John Hartford, with a firm grasp on American folk, bluegrass, pre-hat-act country music and the iconography of rolling boxcars. At times, March sounds like a bluegrass Waylon Jennings ("Helicopter"); at others, like Hartford ("San Francisco"). His songs include parallel-universe 1960s country classics ("Better Believe") and Dylanesque political jeremiads ("Rome"). And the CD's instrumental prelude and coda are nice touches. A fine disc

This album has a soul that carries the audience through the up and downswings of a day, a year, a friendship in good spirits. The harmonica and acoustic instruments add spice to the sound. You'll want to turn a song off in the middle just to have it swirl around with you for a while.

Songs so personal you'll feel like he knows you
author: Jesse Harris
If you could only listen to one cd for all of enternity, you'd want it to be These Dreams. From the sweet sound of the mandolin and the lonesome wail of the fiddle, you'l want to keep this cd in your player. The characters in the songs are brought to life by by March's captivating voice. These Dreams is one of the most enjoyable albums I've heard in long time. Make sure to listen to "Justin" and "Nebraska"!

good country music with a twist
author: Samantha Olson
"These Dreams" starts out good and grows on you like a dear friend to become a favorite in your collection. Richard March writes killer songs: genuine lyrics delivered flawlessly with heart, backed up by an excellent band to boot. Check out "Step by Step," "Long Gone," and "Christina" for some kickin' samples, but really all the tunes on this album have a tremmendous amount to offer. The "twists" have emotional substance, which is a refreshing break from music that seems complex for no reason.

"These Dreams" is a CD that you can listen to the whole way through.
author: Mike Rofé
I believe that peaks and vallys make a CD really enjoyable. In order to listen to an album the whole way through, it has to move. That's just one thing I love about "These Dreams". It doesn't get boring and it keeps you listening.
Richard March has a soft but firm voice and his stories are so clear that you can't help but see his lyrical imagery play out in your head.
Some of my favorites include "San Fracisco", "All I ever Wanted" and "Hellicopter"
It's definitely a CD worth checking out.
