“Without Elvis there's no rock and roll or rockabilly. Others were singing a similar style of music; what made Elvis different? He was white, and he was good looking. Most importantly, he had a great voice! Despite his country origins, he didn't sound like a hick. He could sing fast and hard; he could sing soft and low. The man could deliver a song! It all started with those early Sun sessions. "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" is probably the most notable of those early songs. His style already developed you can hear Elvis in all of his glory on this song.”

“Gene Summers is defintely a knock-off, BUT HE"S A GOOD ONE. I find myself saying, "He sounds a bit like Elvis," instead of, "Who does he think he is Elvis Presley!?!" Same thing goes for Roy Orbison and Gene Vincent. "Heartbreak City Limits" is very reminiscent of "(Marie's the Name)His Latest Flame" and--obviously--"Heartbreak Hotel." The song is so good, though, that instead of sounding derivative these classics serve more as allusions made by a well-schooled rock and roller.”

“DC Cardwell has great pop sensibilities. He's also well-schooled in the history of power pop. On "Peace and Love" one clearly hears the influences of Rockpile, Magazine, and even the Rich Kids. It's not derivative, though. DC's music stands on its own. Tuneful with sweet harmonies; jangly, yet packing punch: You'll have a hard time getting this melody out of your head.”

“A perfect theme song for a wonderful movie. The vulnerabile quality of the vocals really catches Will's character. The title, "Something to Talk About," reflects the way Will and Marcus become less isolated as they communicate with each other. The acoustic arrangement(guitar, bass, piano, drums)appeals to us traditionalists, but still sounds modern and cool--like Will. Kudos to any songwriter who can incorporate the phrase "ipso facto" into one of his works.”

“I love this song! With the incomparable Jordanaires singing backup it sounds like an old Elvis gospel hit! It's not overtly religious, but it makes me want to stand up and holler, "Amen, brother!" BR549 has that sense of history that's such an important ingredient in making great music!”
