"Peter Holsapple in more enlightened times would be lauded as a genius in his field: Power Pop. Except that this is here and now and he isn't. Pity about that. This was probably recorded on a shoe-string budget, not that you could tell. Here this musical magician lays out 11 tracks that cut straight to my soul. "I Am A Tree" is the stand out of many highlights. A simple basic plaintiff pop song that describes the experience of "white soul". He also kicks back and rocks to show his dB's roots in "I Been There". This guy has many dimensions! Buy this record to be the proud owner of these songs and to stick it to the corporate record money-men who are blind to the talents like this man and his kind! Long live Peter Holsapple!!"
This is a real gem!

"I got this CD 2 years ago based on the reviews. I'd never heard of Peter Holsapple and was pleasantly surprised to find out that the reviews were right. The music is great and the lyrics are even better. "Pretty, Damned, Smart" is a classic. I can't believe that no one has reviewed this CD before now. It's smart, fun and you can dance to it. What more do you need? Buy it!!"
