Editorial Reviews

Philadelphia Weekly, August 30, 2006
"The only album you’ll ever need to hear for the rest of your life" - Paul Scheer

Product Description
Matt Duke presents his debut album 'Winter Child,' which was co-produced by Stewart Lerman (Loudon Wainwright, Dar Williams) and Steuart Smith (The Eagles, Shawn Colvin). This record tackles a number of topics ranging from self-destructive behavior ("To Whom It May Concern"), to casualties of inner city violence ("One Small Bird"), to the mourning of a loved one ("Don't Ask for Too Much"). "Tidal Waves," one of the forthcoming singles from 'Winter Child' and "Yellow Lights," one of the record's closing tracks, channel Duke's commentary on religion and politics, while "Ballroom Dancing" displays Duke's penchant for great literature with his ode to Hemingway's short story, "Hills Like White Elephants."

5.0 out of 5 stars Not to be missed!, September 12, 2006

By	Bridget D. Burke "Brihaji" (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This twenty-one year old New Jersey native is quickly making his mark in the music industry. His gift for poetic and inspiring lyrics plus stirring melodies has led to some of the most captivating music on the airwaves today. Matt Duke brings us Winter Child, his full-length debut album. You won't find a sour note or a misplaced word on this folk-rock phenomenon's gem of a release.

Winter Child features contributions by musicians such as Marshall Crenshaw, Brad Roberts (of Crash Test Dummies) and Suzie Roche (of The Roches), plus others. But the shining star of this album is Matt Duke's signature songwriting style.

This album is not to be missed.

This CD was passed along to me from a friend. I listened to the CD from begining to end and found it to be excellent! Matt has some compiled some great tunes for your easy listening experience.

Oysters - has some great lyrics, fun up beat song, one of my favorite on the album. My favorite is Don't Ask, i love the chorus in this song.

If your looking for the Singer/Songwriter acoustic style that is simple fun and upbeat then this is a great CD for you...

Check it out and kudos to you Matt Duke!

5.0 out of 5 stars Matt Duke's given us a GREAT first album!, October 21, 2006

By	S. Vitale "tamedabomb" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Matt Duke's first album has powerful lyrics and soothing melodies. My personal favorite is "Don't Ask (For Too Much)". I absolutely can't get enough of what Matt has to put out. All of the songs have something different to offer and Matt's voice mastered all of them. I love to listen to this in my car with the windows down. It's so relaxing yet exciting. I highly recommend this album for anyone who listens to John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, etc. However, don't compare him to those artists if you don't like them because this album DEFINATELY deserves a chance on its own.
