| | Dave Alvin Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Alvin contributed 4th of July, a song every bit as good as anything he or X had ever written, and then moved on again, recording a spotty but impassioned solo album, Romeo's Escape (including his own version of ''4th of July''). |
 | | Alvin's songs about ordinary people, for example, the loner who travels from city to city staying in a "Thirty Dollar Room" are a keenly penned, insightful and occasionally joyous celebration of America that never stray from the honest and authentic. |
 | | Alvin's razor sharp lyrics, lead guitar and gruff everyman vocals never overshadow the band who, as they follow Dave through his mix of folk, country, blues, soul, and rock and roll, respond with such loose precision that it seems like all five men are thinking with one head. |
