Thanks for this cd, I initially thought it was a bit twangy but I think it will grow on you after repeat listening. Yes, the artists are great and the lyrics are good. I am starting to like it more! :-)

Alan... I typed in "www.wickedmessengers.com" numerous times in Yahoo and Google (even Clusty!) but cannot find your website. Therefore, I send you an email thru this review thing. First of all, the review: GREAT CD! Everything ranges from good to amazing -- nothing shoddy here. I haven't heard you sing in quite a few years, and forgot what a wonderful voice you have. It shines through on the CD. The players are all great, the mixing choices are great -- just GREAT. And the songwriting: again, I forgot how good you are. It has been so long. Best song (in my opinion) on the CD: "Wise To You." It is positively brilliant. Great lyrics, inner rhymes, and very clever, with great music to boot. I also loved "Top Shelf" and your finale, "The Greatest Thing" -- also great lyrics, with unexpected things going on in the progression of the words and music (I also can hear that you're now a dad -- amazing -- and you are still with Jodi. Congrats on creating a real life while still being an artist. It's tough). Bottom line: an EXCELLENT record. I didn't think it would be this good. The story of how I "found" you again after 8 million years: my wife was at a "Yarn" concert at Kenny's Castaways, and she met you there, she said. You gave her your CD (or she bought it -- I have no idea). I saw it laying on a table near our stereo and said to myself, "Wait a minute -- that guy looks real familiar." Then I opened it, saw it was you and freaked out. I finally had a chance to listen to it (and loved it insanely, as you can tell by now). Soooooo... since your website doesn't seem to be operative, this CD Baby review thingie is the only way I know how to contact you (if you even read these things). If you DO see this "review" -- know that Lory Lazarus from ye olden days was trying to get in touch. You'll find me at myspace.com/lorylazarus or lazoomusic@aol.com or 800-655-1494. Obey Godzilla. Hugs, Lory p.s.: GREAT RECORD!!!!!

This is a must have CD if you like NYC country.In our top 10 list I can tell you first hand that the boys "get errr dun". Some bands just don't go over well on CD if you have seen them live...not the Wicked messengers, the CD is as good as being there.(Ok with out the cheep beer and 300 other people) I cant keep "MajorMAX the wicked chicken of country music" away from this CD....BUY THIS NOW !!!!!! Major MAX and Andy Z
