PRESS FOR WEST SKYLINE DRIVE: "Ambition can be a curse, especially in young artists, but it's to Charlie Brumley's credit that his band, the Educated Guess, makes good on its big dreams." - Christian Schaeffer, Riverfront Times
"Now they have put together their most ambitious project yet...which includes elaborate coloration from a string quartet, a brass ensemble, choral singers and a steel guitar...A handful of songs have been posted on their MySpace page, and they sound luxurious, expansive, and downright pretty." - Steve Pick, STL Today
"The result is a rich, wholly-realized, symphonic sound...I tried to write this review while listening to West Skyline Drive (for the umpteenth time), but found that with it playing, I was perfectly content to stare at the blank page and just listen. It’s distractingly, engrossingly good." - Megan Morgan, Independent Clauses
"Composing a rock oratorio is no slight task. Charlie Brumley, leader of St. Louis band The Educated Guess, goes all the way on his latest effort dubbed West Skyline Drive...you get sucked into the story." - Hans Werksman, Here Comes the Flood
"...very young, musically ambitious tunesmiths. This guy Charlie Brumley...[has] got some real talent." - Steve Pick, KDHX 88.1 Sound Salvation
"...Brumley's knack for big-sky arrangements and E Street-indebted piano-playing make him a young artist worth watching." - Christian Schaeffer, Riverfront Times
"...lyrically ingenious and has the country twang that gives you the perfect 'sit alone and drink' music..." - Rachael Mattice, The Exponent
"...damn good new album..." - Cara, Scatter o' Light
"...full of vim, vigor, chops, and imagination." - Steve Pick, KDHX 88.1 Sound Salvation
