Fantastic! These songs reflect the kind of man Sammy Brown is. I've been an avid fan since he played the Strand in Hermosa Beach where I saw him almost every weekend (at Hennessey's.) Heartfelt and touching with just the right amount of humour. I look forward to hearing more from Sammy and treasure the old tapes I have of the California Days.

This is a terrific album. It displays an impressive range of moods and musical styles. Some songs are funny, some are poignant, some are deeply felt, some are just goofy fun. Some bounce, some groove and some rock. The songwriting and performance are always top notch--very reminiscent of Lennon/McCartney songcrafting; but there are also strong influences of Elton John, Billy Joel, James Taylor. This music is not derivative, though--it just reminds you of why you enjoy these other musicians. Just as Sammy seems to do. The arrangements are complex, full-blown pop productions--amazing since Sammy sings all the harmonies and plays all the instruments himself. This is usually a warning of "Lame Crap Ahead." Not this time. The fact is: Sammy can do it all. And he does it all on this record. Enjoy.
