Album Notes

"This collection of songs is dignified, eloquent, wise and wryly humorous. Jeff has a gift for writing lines that are absolutely fresh but that run so deep that I'm forever quoting them to myself to explain and validate events in my own life." - (Annie Gallup, PrimeCD recording artist)

"A masterwork" - (Bill James, Belton Acoustic Concert Series)

"A nearly perfect recording" - (Jimmy Ash, Hill Country Sun.)

Since his 1999 debut CD, Secret Anniversaries (described by one reviewer as a “nearly perfect recording”), each of Jeff’s recordings has received extraordinary reviews and extensive radio airplay. Blissville, first released in Europe, debuted at No. 2 on the EuroAmericana Chart and reached No. 1 on the Roots Music Report in the U.S. The Americana audience responded, and Blissville remained on the Americana Chart for three months. His songs have also been recorded by numerous other artists.

His story songs and finger picking guitar style, in the tradition of other well-known Texas songwriters, have been heard on everything from the Judy Collins holiday radio special that aired throughout the U.S. to NPR’s Car Talk. When Gravity, Grace and the Moon was released in 2003 in the U.S. on Bozart Records it was described in SingOut! Magazine as “a masterpiece,” and he was soon signed to Europe-based Corazong Records.

Describing Secret Anniversaries, Dan Alloway of KTEP said "Lyrics as sharp as a cactus spine... a musical picture as pretty and colorful as a Texas sunset."
