“Offering his own special blend of American music and rock n roll, inspired by Bruce Springsteen and Steve Earle. [It is]…'music that has crawled up from New Orleans and the Delta, and down from the Appalacians and met in an alley in Chicago to mix with broken glass and gasoline puddles and Chess Record blues and Replacements rock n roll and smartass westside Irish poetry.'”
Dan Pierson, Pioneer Press
