"Long Night"			"Echo Lake"
Unique sound This song has a foundation of the Urban Cowboy sound in its very thoughtout arrangement. Has a busy sound. Acounstic and piano and fiddle jammin out the rhythm together and jumping out to grab a fill and right back to the rythm groove. The singing doesnt fit this Urban Cowboy like band style - in fact he takes this sound and somehow has created somewhat of an alternative rock -maybe a remote like Beatles style of singing and together....You have a Unigue and original sounding country group. -I like the sound. Reminds me of like a Charlie Daniels - meets Mickey Gilley sound happening instumentally. Song has alot of energy and great things going on in it. The vocals are articulate understandable - even with the multilayering or possibly 40 millisecond dellay and layed thick. Its a a cool sound. Its stays consistenient throughout. Different from the urban cowboy singers who mostly relied on heavy reverb for vox. The Piano player in this tune is phenomenal. He lays down tastey chops all over the place. (THIS DESERVES THE BEST KEYBOARD WORK - Its one of the best standout piano performances Ive heard yet on GB) The other instruments are excellent.The piano has a couple moments that stood out magically. Lyrics are clear and straight forward in a consistant phrasing that make the song catchy. Crazy story - crazy playing. Arrangement and performance fits the storyline. This is a well put together tune - It might be alittle busy in spots - but I'd be splitting hairs - its a great tune. Reviewed by: CCStewart from Urbandale, Iowa As seen on GarageBand.com			Echo-echo-echo Lake This song starts off with layer on layer on layer of sounds, vocals and ideas. Just keeps building throughout the track. Just when you think all the sounds are there, another one shows up. This really keeps the intrest going. The piano work is excellent. I always liked the paino/B-3 feel and this is no exception. The lyrics give you a slice of life. Good job. bailjumper Dallas, TX As seen on GarageBand.com "The Passenger" Ticket to success Very melodic and muscial song. I was captured from beginning to end. Great lyrics. Written and played with lots of feeling. Good mellow sounding voice fits the song well. I liked this song quite a bit! Reminds me of Bread, or America sometimes, and that I'm back in the early 70's. Very good job getting the mood across. Great job folks. Keep up the hard work, and you'll be in the driver's seat, and on your way to capturing a lot of hearts.
