notes
"The Ottawa group has the cosmic country-rock sounds of Gram Parsons-era Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers down to a science. Sweet little bits of heartache underneath pedal steel and raucous barroom sing-alongs… what’s not to love?" – iTunes
“Their music emerges from rich traditions, but the John Henrys landscape is their own. They straddle the divide between sweet country and 60’s R&B, and they do it in their own distinct way.” - CBC Radio 3
"If Gram Parsons, Neil Young, The Band and Otis Redding had an orgy...You might get something like this." - Chart Magazine
