Reviews for "All The Lights In The City Tonight", the debut album from Travis Hopper:

"A collection of well-crafted, country-tinged pop gems."
www.gorillavsbear.net

"A little bit country, a little bit indie rock, which to us is the perfect mix...get wise to him."
Dallas Morning News

"An endearingly fussy alt-country storyteller with a mind full of catchy melodies...a Dallas artist in the truest sense."
Dallas Morning News

"...a cross between Ryan Adams and Elliot Smith...great songwriter and amazing sound."
Radio Cure

"A ragged, sloppy pop charmer from Texas...like its came from a session in the Westerberg basement [where] Ryan Adams and Tommy Keene showed up and everyone got laughing drunk."
Americana-UK

"...ten beautiful and catchy songs that breath out authenticity, freshness, and emotion...without a doubt one of the greatest albums of this year."
Sensaciones Sonoras (Spain)

"...Wonderfully sunset-hued songcraft and lazy Sunday afternoons on the porch with a beer sounds."
The Fine Line

"Stunning...it's not too often you hear a 10-track album and fall for each track on first listen. An assured a debut as I've heard."
Absolute Powerpop

"Top 25 Albums of 2006 (24)."
Absolute Powerpop

"Travis Hopper's signature country-indie rock blend...showcase[s] his style of songwriting that includes influences ranging from Sufjan Stevens to Bruce Springsteen."
Bryan-College Station Eagle

"His songs revel in their inherent hooks...[they] offer the same kind of "lovable loser" narratives that make similar fare from Paul Westerberg and Ryan Adams so endearing..."
Dallas Observer

"Solid indie rock...excellent debut album."
Kontrastradio Germany

"An accomplished songsmith...a tightly played, engaging set of high quality roots pop... conjures memories of early Freedy Johnston and perhaps Josh Rouse. A very promising start from another fresh talent, well worth keeping an eye on."
Leicester Bangs

This week we started a fan club website for Kinky Friedman and began a campaign to Rock The Vote. So if you're really want to support Kinky during his run for Governor of Texas we want to support everything you have planned and booked by listing it within our network and creating a profile on Kinky's fan club website.
Already we're generating thousands of visitors a day, but this is just the beggining Kinky will once again become the media focus across the country he was during the last Governor's race. This will generate tremendous traffic to promote those who support the Kinkster and help us Rock The Vote giving supporters places to be and people to see.
If you want one of our webtechs to create a profile just let us know.
Sincerely,
Sean Robinson
