"i have been in love with sons ever since i saw them perform a couple years ago. i wish they had more CDs, but if your cd collection is without 3 good reasons, And consequence of speech, it is incomplete. this CD is a brilliant blend of whimsical, somewhat silly songs like "dead on the highway" and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads, " alone in the wake being my favorite."you will be Hooked on sons, i promise!"
Great On Recordings, Better Still Live

"Like the prior commentator, I first saw "Sons" in person, then got their recordings. The recordings are wonderful, but DO NOT miss a chance to see them live -- they're so engaging, exciting, uplifting, that you'll thank yourself for having gone.In terms of their songwriting, I think these people have been developing the most creative acoustic music since Steve Goodman left us. I don't know why more people haven't caught on yet, but I encourage all who like good folk/acoustic music to lend "Sons" an ear. And an eye!"
Happy Music

"This is by far my favorite group of all time. They are fun, uplifting, and I have listened to this CD about a thousand times (maybe more), and never tire of it--I've owned it since 1995 and still listen to it today. I agree with an earlier reviewer. If you even like folk a little bit--SEE THEM LIVE. You won't be sorry!"
Many good reasons!1

"One cold morning, I was sitting sipping my coffe, waiting for the dark to go away so I could take my chain-saw and make my day out in the Norwegian back-woods. I put on a CD just arrived from the US, and started to read my morning paper. Then my ears started to perk up. Hey, hey, what's this!! The first cut was absolutely great, and so was the next and the next and.... I was utterly captivated. One of the best CD's I've ever heard, and not just two or three songs, no, the whole darned CD was good.Wellø to be sure, I played it again some days latter, 'cause sometimes the songs does not sound that nice in the cold light of day. But yes, it was even better, and now even(?) my wife plays it every day. Why?? Seldom have I heard such joy in singing. I think they must have had a field day when they recorded this CD, and this comes through very clearly. If you all want a hell of a good time, buy this CD. You will not regret it!!"
