BILLBOARD MAGAZINE, May 1999:
"Singer/songwriter Fred Wilhelm has been percolating for several years now, racking up a pile of awards-including honors as BMI's best new songwriter and first place in Billboard's songwriting contest.
Additionally, he's toured extensively, opening for the Replacements and Living Colour, among others.
Wilhelm is shopping a disc that deftly combines elements of traditional folk with hip-hop drum loops and samples.
It's a solid, easily marketed sound that's a result of the Nashville artist's desire to not be "a sensitive white-guy folky." Between gigs, Wilhelm is cutting tunes for a full-length disc that he hopes to have out before the year's end.
Once a wise major A&R exec hears tunes like "Long Slow Beautiful Dance," on which he seems to channel Lou Reed within a rich rock/funk arrangement, Wilhelm won't be label-free for long."

This is an all-around awesome CD!

This is one awesome CD! The lyrics are very heartfelt and down to earth, while also funny! The music is very catchy and original. It's like a mix between Sugar Ray and Cat Stevens, two of my favorites!

Folkadelic hip-pop. Like Sugar Ray's dad. Clever, witty, fun.
