Todd Dorman's lyrics on this album are sensational - a mixture of Dylan, EmmyLou Harris and so many other indie greats. Yet it is a prevailing soulful quality - amazing violin sound and other backups - that really makes the album. The talent is incredible...Dorman includes two Julliard trained musicians, which not many band can claim. I bought this on a recommendation of a friend who saw them play in NY, and I have to say this is one of the great albums I have ever owned. I recommend it unequivocally to all.

This album quite literally left me breathless and astounded. The variety of the tracks, the sweep of its scope, the soulful, sensual sound, literally swept me off my feet. The fusion of so many different styles truly created something unique and completely original. There is no doubt in my mind that this band is going to make waves, so check it out, and you won't be sorry you did.

I love the diversity of the music -- each song is something new, and you can tell the musicians are each talented in their own right. Everytime I listen to it, I discover something new in meaning...the words make me think and feel and enter into its story. You couldn't ask for a better combination in a CD!

Here are four individually talented people, each able to hold their own separately on stage if ever necessary...but then put them together...I saw them live and believe me, there is nothing on this album that isn't there right in front of your eyes... if you appreciate God given talent mixed with a true dedication to their art you'll love this album.

I think this is one of the best CDs of the New Year. Dorman's music and lyrics had me singing and humming along right away. I love it when a CD can do that! The lyrics are clear, meaningful, and poignant; and the music is reminiscent of some of the 60's folk rock artists.

I think that says it all! Buy it, you'll like it. Oh, wait - it's out of print. Well then, try and find it - you'll like it.

if Kenny G is "easy listening" then Dorman is "rewarding listening". These guys actually seem to believe what they play. Catch 'em live or grab the disc - same rich musical experience. You won't get spoon-fed lyrics in cliches or riffs in tired arrangements. You'll get good rock, fresh rock, thoughtful rock, and with one or two songs that show a mischevious sense of humor.

This is an amazing collection of compositions, but don't expect it to be background music. You'll find yourself compelled to pay attention to the intelligent and thoughtful lyrics. If you live in the Northeast, you might even get lucky enough to see Dorman play live in a neighborhood club. For all the rest of us, the CD is treat enough. Think of this music as a well-kept secret that you're getting in on.
