A rare find ...
author: Suzan
First of all, I\'m a Fastball fan. There are a couple of songs from the Fastball albums that made me wish there was some sort of collaboration between Miles Zuniga and Jeff Groves, and luckily, it exists. Although the musical stylings are quite different, Fastball allowed me to stumble across The Small Stars, albeit a few years too late. But definitely better late than never, as this CD proves. Each song is inherently unique, and as a whole, it provides a refreshing combination of various genres that you wouldn\'t expect to find on a single album. I find myself putting \"Love is Grand\" and \"Day Job\" on repeat, and \"Carnival\" is another favorite. \"Girl Trouble\" works well with its haunting undertones, and people who dislike country music may change their minds with \"That\'s What God Made Whiskey For.\" Overall, the album is creative and impressive, what good music should sound like, and it\'s something you won\'t want to stop listening to. I know I can\'t.

This is an excellent CD. No two songs sound the same and all of them are really well done.

Fantastic! Great melodies and outstanding lyrics.
author: Annie
This cd has everything you could ask for - fab tunes and lyrics which are both entertaining and thought provoking. Not a single dud on this, but my stand-out track would be Tijuana Dreams. Miles Zuniga is a rare talent and this is a great band.

miles "macca" zuniga writes great tunes

Miles Zuniga... is he related to Paul McCartney? His son? Sir Miles is one of the greatest songwriters of our time. And the critics don't seem to notice this, yet. But his time of recognition will come. I sent him an e-mail with my compliments and asked if he, maybe, is a bastardson of Sir Paul's ; )
He was so kind to reply: "It be nice if I was a descendant of Sir Paul McCartney but I don't think he ever toured Laredo, Texas." Anyway... Great tunes, with the Small Stars and ofcourse Fastball. Everybody enjoy this great melodic music!
A fan from across the pond.
