MojoIt's remarkable how organic and right (as opposed to gimmicky) the church voices sound on these 14 melodic folk, spare soul and various-tempo blues songs. [Apr 2006, p.98]
-
MagnetThere's a lot to love about 'Sno Angel... Like You. [#71, p.98]
-
Fans of Gelb's have to be excited about this because it's perfect, a career high.
-
UncutFeels freshly ironic and original. [Apr 2006, p.98]
-
The soulful harmonies complement Gelb's dry one-liners and restless guitar surprisingly well.
-
'Sno Angel Like You is not only beautifully performed and recorded, but also wonderfully written.
-
Most of Gelb's seven new songs hold their own with four primo re-rolls.
