The Duo Keep On Growin'

"Play Pause Stop is a natural progression for Marco Benevento and Joe Russo. It's of a piece with their previous studio work Best Reason to Buy the Sun(the new one actually contains the song by that title?!), but in contrast, this new one, equally well-recorded in terms of sound quality, flows more than it rocks. But it's as good on headphones as it is filling your living room--or motor vehicle--and constitues a near-irresistible invitation to see The Duo in live performance"
Great Instrumental Record

"Though often thrown in with the jam band crowd, Benevento/Russo Duo are not truly best categorized as such. This new record is firmly steeped in rock motifs and structures yet fully incorporates jazz sensibilities. These are solid songs that capture the head as well as the heart. Will certainly appeal to fans of Silver Ray and other instrumental acts. Highly recommended."
