REVIEWS: “Nashville's answer to the Bard.” ( The Nashville Scene )

"These sonnets were a lifesaver when I was constricted to rehab for a broken leg. This man can seriously write! At best, many of the sonnets are thought provoking, calming and uplifting, through the beautiful language, the unique subjects of the poems, and the cheery content of many. I totally enjoyed the clever phrasings, often making me laugh out loud. Five stars!" ( Edith McMullin, author)

“…The singer-songwriter has consistently created tough, brooding songs about the human condition that reek of a questioning intelligence mixed with a literate wit.” ( Pop Matters )
