Maverick review: "...a wonderful, laid back West Coast sound..."
Steve Chapman Smith (Henry Boon's, Wakefield): "The Good Intentions took us back to a different era with their gorgeous harmonies and heartfelt songs steeped in Americana! Pete Davies is an exceptional songwriter, their CD hasn't left my car since Thursday night and the songs just get right under your skin..."
Bryan Farrish Radio Promotions:
"The Good Intentions' Americana folky sound echoes of a Grateful Dead reborn. Their sound is comparable to Gram Parsons with Emmylou. Their songs take listeners on journeys
down dusty roads and past cornfields, placing you perfectly in a quaint,
country-town setting."
Miles Of Music (Los Angeles): ''The Good Intentions have captured a gorgeous, Byrdsian, country / folk jangle...''
Frank Ostergren (rootsy.nu, Sweden): "A never ending stream of beautiful melancholy, a river of memories from a long time ago..."
Marthijn de Wit (Radio NOF, Netherlands): "Country with a clear British voice..."
Eddie Russell (Country Eastern West, Texas): "A feel of country music's past that sounds freshly minted..."
Country Jukebox (Germany): "...a timeless beautiful collection of Americana...a CD which satisfies the heart's desire for country, bluegrass, folk and roots..."
Bill Littleton (The Bridge Works, Nashville): "This is serious roots music..."
Rock'n'Reel: "Poor Boy filters their influences through an impressive batch of songs, such as Irene and She's In A George Jones Mood..."
But we're the Good Intentions. We sound like kin. Listen.... | | Record Label | Boronda Records | | Type of Label | Indie |
