"A truly magical disk. EFO's blend of quirky story-telling lyrics, Outrageous hand percussion, jamming acoustic guitar, and blow-you-away harmony is unlike any "folk" music you thought you knew. Julie's vocals still send goosebumps down to my toes even after 50 + sittings. The energy of this live album will have you singing at the top of your lungs and causing other drivers to stare at you. Oh, well - its too much fun to stop."

YOW!

"I just heard my 1st EFO cut less than 30 minutes ago, while driving home. I was goosebumps all over. Ran in the house & jumped here to buy something of theirs...ANYTHING of theirs!~ I've already highlighted my calender for a live R.I. performance. I remember Joe & Rose-Lee Maphis doing Orange Blossom Special in a tiny night club back in the mid-60's. EFO just gave me the same viscerally exuberant sensation."

Fresh, attractive, zesty, poised, clever, and tight: great!

"If I could be a star, I wouldn't have been the fifth Beatle, I wouldn't have sung with Mic and the Stones, I wouldn't share the stage with Janis, or played energetic rock with Jimmy H. No, if I could be a star I'd be on stage with Eddie, Julie, Robbie, and Michael. The others pail in comparison.Never have I taken such an instant liking to a group as the liking I've taken to EFO. With tight harmonies any acapella group would envy, with energetic, articulate and shining guitar work, and with a percussionist who gets more out of one jembay drum than many percussionist get from an entire set; you gotta like these guys!Did I say guys? Julie Murphy-Wells sings with a home-spun passion I've not heard matched. Her quirky, sparkling and playful style seduce and envelop my passions for music.Yep, if I could be a star, I'd be the fifth "Eddie." C'mon back to Columbus, Eddie. I've got to hear you perform live again before you get so famous you only play 50,000 seat stadiums."
