 Terence Boylan Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Considering the drought of talented new bands and vocalists in the last few years it is especially pleasant to run across a talented and tasteful musician new to the rock scene.
It is no surprise that Boylan's first record is as good as it is. His history includes a pilgrimage to meet Bob Dylan and play in Greenwich Village; leading a local band that included the later founders of Steely Dan, and making a musical comedy record with his producer-brother in 1968.
Although it is Boylan's voice and the lyrics that dominate the album, the quality of musicians propels the instrumentation into the superior range, far outdistancing most of the music heard on similar mood albums.
