    The keening askance of his voice, celestial choirs and brittle hesitation of his guitar all speak of terrible demons exorcised, and when that all comes together on Brother or opener Part One: The End, maybe only Josh T. Pearson can touch his pain. [Aug 2012, p.84]

    It's a soulful country stroll, which favors heavily on career building and that is something that Dylan Leblanc is sure doing, and quite swimmingly if I might add. Bravo.

We put it on while driving up an endless logging road on the way to the middle of nowhere. Reminds me of Radiohead if they were a country western band. Haunted but in a good way. Collapse
