To the March 29th review, look in the insert for cover information. This is a good listen, but I always think of them as being alot better live. I saw them twice, and they are a good band to watch with a beer in your hand. As far as "1.99 Romances" goes, it's the first thing I put in when I want to hear a toe tappin' jam band......right after "Blues Traveler", "Dave Matthews", "Currently Nameless", "Phish", "Spin Doctors", and "The Dead". Really though, they're not bad. It's worth at least $1.99.

In an age when non-talented, "3 chords in 3 minutes" bands are cashing in on nieve listeners, it's refreshing to be able to find a band that truly gets it. If your looking for a band with traditional rock, blues, and funk influences, then GSW is a band worth your time. $1.99 delivers with a sprinkling of all the above styles with killer jams that make most pop bands look like sallys. Start with $1.99 and work your way through the catelog. But for the best GSW experience, SEE THEM LIVE!

I have 4 out of 5 God Street wine album's, and I feel this is their best one. Good Song's on this album are Nightingale, Mile By Mile, Run to you, and more. You got to listen to this album.

This is a great CD, one of GSWs best. All the song are good, compared to some CD with only a few. Live, GSW is great and their other CDs are highly recommended

I really like this band, and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me more about the cover art? Who painted it, etc? I wouldn't mind getting a print....

Thanks

I saw GSW live, and then bought this album - I highly recommend both the album and seeing them live! Lots of energy. A great pick-me-up. This is certainly their best album (and this coming from a former DJ). If you like Spin Doctors, you'll love GSW - they're much better than Spin Doctors although along the same lines.

Man, I was AT these shows, and I still can't believe how great this disc sounds! Any fan who's seen GSW @ the Wetlands can tell you that those shows were special, but the "farewell" shows just blew my mind. The disc showcases great tracks from all three nights, starting with one of the most spirited and all-out "Wendy's" I've ever heard. (Gives me chills!) Also worth mentioning are old favorites "Goodnight Gretchen," "Borderline," "Mantoloking," "Water," and "Diana." As a special treat, the boys pulled out there most infamous and out-there cover of all time, Madonna's "Express Yourself." It was certainly a gift to those lucky fans who heard the earlier version, way back in 1996.

Last but not least, these shows feature GSW founding members Tomo on drums, and Jon Bevo on keys, as well as their excellent replacements Aubrey Dayle and Peter Levin, respectively. Not to mention the times when they were all playing together, with all those guests up there...I was amazed that many people could fit on that tiny stage.

The recordings are direct-from-the-board ADATs, though there may be a bit of post-production work in there to clean up the track transfers. All GSW fans should own this disc, even if you've already got these sets.
