    Fire passes in an enchanting sort of basement-cabaret haze, all pretty melodies and haunting orchestral arrangements. [3 Nov 2006, p.78]

    A bittersweet second album of gentle strumming and washed-out summer sun. [30 Sep 2006, p.37]

    Wonderfully different =) He reminds me of John so much but this album is so modern without being stereotypically modern. I also like how I can't describe his style to my friends… Expand

    He has talent, but he needs to get out of his dad's shadow. He has not done that on this CD.
