"Dryve is a great band! Thrifty Mr. Kickstart has fast paced rock tunes to moving ballads complete with harmonica and hammond organ. Subject matter focus on issues all of us face such as why am I here? What is my purpose? Who can I trust? Thrifty Mr. Kickstart leaves you no doubt that God is there for you always! A great album for young adults facing tough struggles."
Awesome! A must have!

"I have over 250 CDs, and this nearly unknown jewel tops them all. The songs are just a plain joy to listen to. The music is both soothing and emotional and the songs are fantastic to sing along to. It's hard to compare this CD with any other, although I'd say Dryve's music is comparable to the Wallflowers, Old 97s, and U2. I couldn't praise this band or the CD enough. I bet you'll come to the same conclusion."
Neat Must Have

"Dryve has such a distinct, unique sound. Their music incorporates more unusual instruments not found in the majority of today's music, such as hammond organ, harmonicas, mandolins, and horns, with contemporary guitars and bass, etc. The songs are so uplifting, positive, and fun to dance to too. Everyone should have this album!"
