“Physics asserts that there are four fundamental forces: electro-magnetism, gravity, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. These gentlemen have made a compelling argument for the existence of a fifth, desire.” Dr. Howard Pollison, National Physics Review “Stumbling upon this remarkable production was like mistakenly walking in on a stranger’s wake; I couldn’t just turn around and walk out, but felt oddly compelled to stay and pay my respects.” Roberta Jane Fleming, Interior Designs “Every line is like a maxim from some arcane philosophy I instinctively feel would improve my life if I only had the self-discipline to follow it.” Grace Templeton, The Salt Lake Inquisitor “They might be trying to catch the wind with a butterfly net, but that makes both the wind and the net no less real.” Alan Fairchild, Intuition Magazine “They’ve given us folk songs that are philosophical, lucid and relevant; spiritual without being dogmatic in a way established religions fail to be.” Virgil Hirsch, The Princeton Nugget “It was hard and wild, a study in extremes not for the faint of heart; like making passionate love on a bed of rusty nails.” Bruce Trender, The Daily Shoe “…an eclectic selection of genuine love songs that abide like genuine love – nothing to prove and nothing to fake.” Haggard Winters, The Nashville Courier “These hombres are bullet proof, water proof, fire proof, rust proof, shatter proof, critter proof, fool proof, tamper proof, child proof, smudge proof, shock proof, living proof, hundred proof, …” Buck Filmore, Austin City Lights “The authors evoke the sense of reckless abandon one might feel while watching the Three Stooges at three AM on a third bottle of wine and not worrying about getting up for work because it’s a three-day weekend.” Jean Marie Eck, Numerology Today “A vision of the way things would be if dark poets ruled the world.” Brick Thornton, The Lofty Perch “Pick it up, put it on and go for the good times. Get naked and splash around in it; baptize your lover with it; frolic in it till you’re both comfortably exhausted. I did!” Lance Horgan, The Hedonist “…smooth and agreeable, like soft cheese; they spread themselves nicely without making any crumbs.” Patricia Ballard, Grandmother’s Cupboard “These numbers will make you think you’ve pulled back the carpet and discovered all those things you’d hurriedly swept under it and forgotten about when you were getting ready for an unexpected visit from your mother-in-law.” Rachel Siddiqui, Rumour Central “…as though you’re gazing at the face of the woman lying beneath you, seeing only her sensual gorgeousness, regardless how plain she may look when up and about. It’s the same primal impulse that is responsible for the perpetuation of our species.” Rolf Merkle, The Great Outdoors “It pulsates with a strong, steady rhythm that evokes a pendulum’s motion, to-and-fro, but without getting boring or snagged on clichés.” Fran Budnick, The Memphis Egyptian “Have another bottle of wine, make a baby or two, go hungry for awhile, lose someone close to you, get involved in a messy affair, go far, far away, compromise your principles, spend an entire weekend naked, tell harmless lies, build a suspension bridge out of tooth picks and kite string,… It’s all here.” Lonnie Putz, Concrete Mirage
