INDUSTRY REVIEWS FROM DECEMBER 2007

"INDUSTRY REVIEWS

" I'm the bad cop and I've got nothing bad to say...you're a hard act to follow...great band, really emotive, affecting songs

Aaron Burgess - Spin and Revolver Magazines

"You're starting from a really solid place. You write very, very good songs -- strong images and well above par language choices, all delivered with a firm, confident voice. The guitars work well together, and the whole band is tight in a way that really serves the songs. You also demonstrate some range with this pair, which is what anyone in the industry wants to see from an artist who's in audition mode. These songs and performances are evidence that you're someone both industry and fans should start paying more attention to.

Gary Graff - Billboard and New York Times

It's Been A Long Day"Whether by design or not, the spatial effect on the voice is really what makes this song, a slight otherworldliness that helps take it out of the realm of conventional country-derived singer-songwriter territory. But even without that, the song is strong… Reminds me more of Cowboy Junkies than anything else (that's a compliment)"

CRITICAL PRAISE FOR
JOSEPH FLYNN AND HIS NOVELS

Joseph Flynn's Gasoline, Texas reads like a mystery novel, keeping the reader guessing as to who’s up to what, and for what juicy and scandalous reasons. This makes the story hard to put down..Gasoline, Texas is a quick, entertaining read, full of unexpected plot twists, juicy revelations, and sweet revenge. Flynn draws some interesting parallels between the manufactured drama of Hollywood and the real-life drama of life in Texas, where “the 19th century [is] never far away.” He’s also done his cultural and geographical research, and many of the story’s minor details will ring true for die-hard Texans.
