This is freaking awesome. This is the best man in the modern ska scene hands down. Check out his other stuff. Venice Shoreline Chris, and King Apperatus.

This is a great CD. Totally great lyrics. He's awesome live, and I personally like the 4track adventures of venice shoreline chris more. Live is just incredible. If you ever have the chance, see him live. This is a good buy. I recommend it.

Another excellent, sincere album. Chris has been around, seen what there is to see, and gone back to the source; this gives the musician and the music depth and credibility like the great poets Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen, but here's the best part - its ska!! I could go on and on about how important it is that Chris chose to make this kind of music, but instead I think I'll just listen to it again, and again. Thanks for another great album Chris, and keep 'em coming.

I had the opportunity to meet Chris Murray recently at an intimate show. What a nice guy. He is perhaps one of the more overlooked songwriters out there right now, but the reason is obvious -- he writes ska tunes. While some folks may not fault him for that, a whole bunch more are going to. But, this new material is definitely a step in the right direction. With hook laden melodies and a powerful voice, Murray is doing everything right on this cd, and I think more people then just ska-scenesters will appreciate it. For those of you who don't know, Chris Murray plays ska influenced music on an acoustic guiter. He does record straight to cassette on a four-track. No slick overdubs, or phil specter tape echo here. Just Murray and his music.

I like Chris Murray's music, this cd sounds just like his live stuff. Check him out at the Knitting Factory tuesday nights in L.A.
