4.0 out of 5 stars "i've got magic and stitches in my heart for you", July 9, 2005

Boy With A Fish play introspective, atmospheric music that falls somewhere between folk-rock and alt.country. Their music is moody and intensely low-key, their lyrics off-kilter and at times superb: the title track is especially brilliant. I would think that those who like Freakwater, Hazeldine, or the Handsome Family would enjoy this as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Horseflies ..., December 28, 2006

I bought this CD following a "and if you liked these you should try this ..." link. Imagine my absolute delight when the CD came and the band line-up included Jeff Claus and Judy Hyman from the Horseflies. In fact, this is very much a Horseflies album, a little bit upbeat and a touch more electric, but exhibiting the style and innovation that has caused me to seek out as much of their original music as possible. All tracks on this album are very, very good. If you want to hear what an innovative blend of country and bluegrass can sound like, this is it. Buy it.

I was starving for new material by members of the Horse Flies, and am so happy about this Boy With A Fish outfit. The sound is all there minus the banjo uke and Richie Stearns' clawhammer banjo style and crooning reedy vocals. I guess I should hold myself back from comparing the two genius musical entities because I just love this run of songs. Thanks Jeff, Judy and band. Hope to catch you at Banjo Jim's in April.
