   About Jerry Leger & The Situation
"One of the best songwriters I've heard in quite some time."
-Ron Sexsmith

"The songs are tuneful, accessible and direct.. Bar-room blues, lonesome ballads and barn-rockin' stompers all coexist in an album that's charming not only for its strong songwriting, but also in its unassuming approach."
-Chart Magazine, Toronto

"At all times focused on phrasing, Leger squeezes every scrap of meaning out of his carefully-wrought lyrics. Leger proves that he's got the chops to be around for a while."
-Kate Steele,Coke Machine Glow, Halifax

"A singing poet"
-Now Magazine

"He's managed to revive the appealing elements of Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello that were surely disappearing....Leger delivers folk rock in an old fashioned, albeit not dated style."
-Spill Magazine, Toronto

"Leger is one of the finest new singing storytellers."
-The Intelligencer

"Sounds like wind blowing in a wheatfield, train rolling down the line, rain coming down on a old tin shed, steel, wire and a rusty heart. Boots of leather and dust and ash. Mollasess and coal and stone. Wedding rings and buried bones of love broken and burnt. Tales and the footprints, ravenswings and souls are earnt."

I am very well thank you, I have gotta say I really enjoy your music. Very well done. I look forward to meeting you hopefully at your next Castro gig, or I may see you in Parkdale. Keep your watch out for "EL MOSQUITO" we've got a bite that stays with people. We should have a myspace up and running soon enough. How are you doing these days Jerry?

Hello,
I visited official page and read lyrics.
I wish I am good at English...!
Although I cannot understand those meanings completely, there are several lines I like.
Many thanks for comments.
Good luck!
