By	StarsRae (Long Island,NY USA) - See all my reviews

Fiction Family perfectly combines the different sounds of the two artists jon foreman of switchfoot and sean watkins of nickel creek.It's like nothing I've ever heard from jon as a solo artist.I love jon's work as a solo artist and as a member of the band switchfoot.The two of them fit together great.I love that they switch leading vocals for each song.Each song has a different flavor of sound which I love.I give this album five stars.I love it! RIP The Real SeanJon (their original name which I'm sad they changed).

This review is from: Fiction Family (MP3 Download)

There are two Fiction Family albums available from amazon.com. This one only has 12 songs. The other album has 15 songs! Three more for the same price! Buyer beware...

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Purchase!, June 28, 2009

By	Martha Bajema (Bellingham, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really like this CD! I've been listening to it a lot; it puts me in a good mood.

The songs are each unique in attitude -- but ALL are well written, performed and vocalized. (When listening in my car I like to sing the harmonies.)

If you like well executed acoustic music and sincerity in your lyrics and vocals, you'll really be glad you bought the Fiction Family CD.
