"J-Roddy Walston & the Business is, to almost the exclusion of all others, the purest American rock-and-roll band I've heard in years.... I love them because we share a common, often laughed off, belief: rock and roll matters."
-Flagpole (Athens, GA)

"It's hard not to fawn over just how fantastic the band is, how captivating and electric Walston is as a frontman as he pounds his piano and screeches away, without sounding like Jon Landau raving about the first time he saw Bruce Springsteen."
-Baltimore City Paper

"They're loud, relentess and wear you out before they're even halfway done with you."
-Arkansas Times

"Sounding like a cross between a "Shake Your Money Maker"-era Black Crowes (when they knew how to smile), a butcher version of Queen and Ben Folds with a full backing band and a fistful of Lexapro, this band plays straight ahead rock that would make Elvis fall to his knees and weep tears of joy."
-White Collar Punk Rocker

"When it comes to pure, unadulterated rock music, there aren't nearly enough bands these days that do it the way J Roddy does. "
-Each Note Secure

"Nobody rocks as hard as J. Roddy Walston and the Business. Watching these guys perform is like watching a live bull fight, with audiences dancing for their lives in the aisles."
-Philly Style

"Infectiously manic...they make James Brown look lazy."
-Baltimore City Paper

"What takes them to the level of awesome, is the street-wise, working class attitude that infects each of these numbers - if it's folk, then its tough folk. If we're talking rhythm and soul, it's tough rhythm and soul. And if we're talking rock n roll, you guessed it, it's tough."

No, I can't forget this evening

Or your face as you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows

Yes, it shows



No, I can't forget tomorrow

When I think of all my sorrow

When I had you there but then I let you go

And now it's only fair that I should let you know

What you should know



I can't live if living is without you

I can't live, I can't give any more

I can't live if living is without you

I can't give, I can't give any more



No, I can't forget this evening

Or your face as you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows

Yes, it shows



I can't live if living is without you

I can't live, I can't give anymore

I can't live if living is without you

I can't live, I can't give anymore
