"I was drilling through Amazon looking for new music when I came across a list of new releases. I was intrigued by the CD art work of Greg Trooper's MAKE IT THROUGH THIS WORLD. So I gave a listen to the samples and immediately ordered the CD. I was simply amazed. There is not a bad tune on MAKE THROUGH THIS WORLD. This is my first introduction to the singing and songwriting of Greg Trooper. The album has a kind of bluesy, country feel. At times, vocally, Trooper reminds me of Bob Dylan and at other times Bob Seger. Then again he comes off as his own man. Cuts that stood out for me are This I'd Do, Green Eyed Girl, Sad,Sad,Girl, Close To The Tracks, and the title cut Make It Through This World. For me this was a real musical find. This one is a buy."
You won't be disappointed

"I saw Greg live in Ann Arbor a few days ago, opening for
the great Slaid Cleaves. He played solo, and put on a great
show. I had never heard of him before, but now I will look
at his other releases. He's an extraordinary songwriter.
If you liked John Prine is his prime, you will love
Greg Trooper."
Excellent!

"Warning! The excellent songs on this CD will stick in your head and you will NOT be able to get them out! That's a good thing! This is Greg's best so far and I can't wait to get my hands on his next CD!"
Excellent

"I bought this album largely on the basis of the excellent reviews on Amazon.com, and I wholly endorse the reviewers' universally positive views - this is a marvellous album, heartfelt, lyrical, gutsy, great melodies, with a lot to say. It beautifully captures the point at which folk and country come together. I can't imagine anyone not loving this. Buy it....
Others have singled out various tracks for praise, but my favourites here are "No Higher Ground" (a movingly heartfelt take on hurricanes) and "I Love It When She Lies". The only mystery to me is, why is Greg Trooper not better known?"
