Some review snippets....read the full reviews here - http://www.myspace.com/mybrotherwoody
"fizzes with classic pop sentiment, surfing on a wave of sacchrine keys, breathy doo-wops and mellifluous horns, cleare's sunbeam arrangments will brighten anyone's day" - (8/10 - Hotpress)
"Here's the scenario: What if Dennis Wilson sang with The Pernice Brothers and the songs were co-written by Pernice, Paul Westerberg of The Replacements, Style Council era Paul Weller, Crowded House and arranged by Brian Wilson and Sufjan Stevens? It would be "My Brother Woody". This record is pop with a capital "P". This is a great CD and it shows a lot of work and dedication to the art of songwriting. The arrangements are mature and subtle and the lead vocals are strong and sure. If you like your music catchy and filled with pop, meaningful and with a lot of soul, you'll be buying "My Brother Woody" this Christmas for several of your most musically discriminating friends."- (Nelson Bragg - Brian Wilson Band)
"Warm, euphoric and totally infectious melodies" (4/5 The Star)
"It's rare to find good music this way but the songs I heard were really great!!!"
--Blaine - (The New Pornographers)
"Hey Mike, i got the cd and i am in love" --Kramer (Ween, Daniel Johnston, Joyzipper)
"Warm indie-rock awash with the summer harmonies of late 60s pop culture, the début album from My Brother Woody is proving to be quite a pleasant indulgence since arriving through the Frequency-Ireland postbox....the album is nicely poised between dippy and melancholic moods, and is quite a triumph of indie-pop" - (8/10 Frequency Ireland)
"the album is full of infectiously catchy melodic alt rock sounds with a real emphasis on the summery pop sound, the album has a real east coast sixties pop feel to it at times with lots of great vocal harmonies and some lovely mellow brass sounds, features eleven superbly written catchy pop songs" - (Road Records)
