Sean Hayes is too good to stay obscure for much longer. This album, while locally known in San Francisco amongst an increasing fan base, is really going to be enjoyed by many once word gets out. When you listen you'll be transported elsewhere, to a magical and melodic universe. Can't recommend this enough. Buy it and enjoy!

I heard Alabama Chicken on the Emerson College (Boston) radio station and liked the vibe, so I bought the CD. What a treat this entire album is! Sean's voice is so expressive, like he's singing to your heart. Musically, it sounds like a group of very talented friends getting together for some serious play and hitting that magical place where everything comes together. Little Maggie is a great rendition of a traditional tune and Walkin down the Line is a nice version of the Dylan classic. The rest are originals, with Here We Are a standout for me. Some sad love songs on here as well, for those times when you need a sad love song. Highly recommended and I hope his work gets the airplay it deserves.

Sean Hayes does a great job having fun with this album. I certainly enjoyed all of the songs and have introduced him to alot of my friends.

This CD is the best purchase I made in 2010. I've listened to it over and over. I can't get enough of it. It's the firt CD I've owned from this aritst and he has been making music for over 10 years. This CD was out in 2003, he has since had, I think, 4 more since this one and a couple before. I now own all of his CDs and I cannot wait to savor each one of them. I am listening to Flowering Spade right now and it's awesome. I will say it's little different than Alabama Chicken, it seems to have a little more of an upbeat feel to it. All of the CDs are a different and I like that, but Alabama Chicken is, by far, one of my top 5 CDs I own. Rattlesnake Charm, Little Maggie, and Smoking Signals are 3 of the best songs I've ever heard. I just don't understand why artists like this are not played on the radio. Often when I have the CD playing people want the name of the CD and artist so they can go buy it.

I have heard several songs by Sean Hayes, and consider them all good. A friend introduced me to Alabama Chicken, and I think its one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. Sean does an amazing job of combining Bob Dylan and Bob Wills. Every song on the album is great.

I caught Sean Hayes live in Portland about 4 years ago and was stunned by his heart-rending voice, insightful lyrics and simple, soulful music. I bought his first CD on the spot... I'm embarassed to admit it was weeks before I played any other music! I got his 2nd effort as a gift, and found it as incredible as the first. I haven't gotten my hands on Alabama Chicken yet, but I think I know what to expect of this talented, original artist! I can't wait for my copy to arrive!

Sean Hayes is amazingly talented... his voice is beautiful, complicated, interesting. So good, so good. Highly recommended!
