"Grab your beach towel, throw on your flip flops, and don't forget to put your Todd Widell CD on your ipod (the beach is no place for a CD player). This is the perfect CD to relax to, but don't pass of Widell's music as just laid back beach music. In his debut album he throws out so many things that are strong themes for younger people, struggling with relationships, flourishing in relationships, doing what you want to be doing with your life... These are just some of the many great things that are brought out in Late Night Saturday. Todd plays a little acoustic and a little electric. If you like Bob Schneider, Pete Yorn, Jack Johnson - even a little Ryan Adams then Widell is your man."

"I go to college in central New Jersey. And if you're familiar with the area then you know of a certain "record exchange" that contains some of the best unheard/unknown music ever created.My friend and I are in this "record exchange," searching through the budget CD's and he comes across Todd Widell's album, "Late Night Saturday." He'd never heard of it, and only bought it because the cover looked cool. We put it in the CD player on the drive back to school, and, oh man, we were swooned into this chilled out musical universe! The album is a gem! Great if you're into the whole "barbecue and sandals on a hot day" routine. Or, perhaps, if you're in the mood for a laid-back atmosphere.I would highly recommned this to fans of Jack Johnson (I am a Jack fan, myself). It sounds just like Johnson (except a little less "beachy")."
