Description
"It's an almost even mix of jazzy blues and country - a mix that only Gatemouth Brown and Willie Nelson seem able to pull off. Until now, that is. Bisch does a fine job of mixing the two... music fans, those interested in true quality songs and performances, will like it just fine.

"...rather than merely mirroring current trends in the music business, Jeff Bisch has absorbed the influences of time-tested songwriters such as Springsteen, Waits, Croce and Chapin into his material.

"There's a whole lotta livin' packed into that voice. And the man can write. This is earthy music. Sawdust on the floor, taste of whiskey and cigarettes, cowboy hats, and August moon.

"Jeff's voice has such an authenticity to it, and his blues playing on a subtle yet insightful song like "Obvious Blues" is pure delight...another title, "Crucifix" was very moving..."
.""...[one of the] highlights for me was getting to hear someone as authentic-sounding as Jeff sing in that low drawl..."
