"I feel lucky to have been able to grow up listening to the songs of some of the great songwriters like Guy Clark, John Prine, Billy Joe SHaver and Ray Wylie Hubbard. Just when you wonder who will be there to take there place on day Adam Carroll steps up."
The Best New Album of the Year
Michael K. Gould | Milwaukee | 11/04/2005

"No amount of praise that I can heap on this album can be effusive enough. This is a terrific record, with one great song after another. The lyrics are as crisp and clear as a perfect autumn day and the music is just wonderful. Listen to the samples, especially "Allright" and "Low in the Mountains , High in the Pines" and Buy It! You will not regret it. America needs this record to be a success so Mr. Carroll can make more records."
Not Bad Adam ...

"This guy has set the bar pretty high for himself with previous releases. This album doesn't hit me as hard as 'south of town.' But it's been in my truck CD player now for at least two months ad nauseum. The Cajun Symphony in 'Ricebirds' is powerful. The more I listen the more I find is there. Good. But he's been better."
