“Shindell is a master builder of songs, yet always leading listeners toward the emotional essence of the moment or character he is evoking. As with all master craftsmen, knowing what to leave out is as important to him as what he puts in. Shindell has uncanny sense of the theater of a song, building his ballads sparely and subtly, set to sweeping graceful melodies.”
- SCOTT ALARICK, The Boston Globe
“Music measures the temperature of the people. Consumerism and the corporate media have taken us all down the path of cynicism, apathy and nihilism. If the message on the new record is anything, it’s to blast that shit.”
-Hunter Brown, Guitarist
“Our underlying intention isn’t to say what we feel is right or wrong. It’s merely an expression to inspire people to find what inspired us to make music.”
-Jeffree Lerner, Percussionist
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had an entire album of songs that speak to the essence of who I am in the same way as the songs that have been the enduring backbone of my repertoire for the past 50 years.”
- Joan Baez
“A half century into her career, folk icon Joan Baez is making a return of sorts—not to vintage material, but to songs that evoke the spirit and message of her defining early work…Baez has never sounded wiser, or more deeply human.”
-The Boston Herald
“Bowery Songs reminds us that at crucial moments during her long and storied career – which is to say, at crucial moments in America’s history over the past four decades and then some – Joan has recorded and released live performance albums that have served as critical barometers of our times.”

“The Broken West are a talented group of young musicians united in their love of “the song.” Whether it be in the studio or on stage, where their raucously energetic live show is a site to behold, their enthusiasm and optimism are infectious, as it should be. What you hold in your hands is an extraordinary new album from an amazing young band destined to be reckoned with for years to come.”

“Every single song on this album is memorable and important, with loaded lyrics and gliding melodies. Reminiscent of The Shins and Iron and Wine with a little more punch and momentum, Blind Pilot is Portland based Israel Nebeker (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Ryan Dobrowski (drums) at the helm.”
