"This album knocked me out. There are not many new artists that are so good they make me say, "This artist deserves to have me buy his album instead of copying it from my friends", but Griffin House is one of them. I bought it online by the time we got to the second song. This album is well-produced, well-written, and above everything else, authentic. House is a young songwriter, and this provides his songs with a freshness and complete lack of pretense. A lot of times his influences show through, but that's not a bad thing - not when you're talking influences like Springsteen's Nebraska, early Wilco and Whiskeytown, Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley and Van Morrison. Nonetheless, his music is uniquely his own and I can't wait to see how he continues to grow and forge his own sound! His lyrics are honest, insightful and poetic, and that's extremely rare in today's musical realm. I love his philosophy and emotional transparency, and the music and melodies are the perfect match for what he says."

"I don't think Lost and Found will be removed from my cd changer for quite a while. Griffin's first major label record is easily one of the most complete albums I've heard in years. Inspiration is heard from bands and artists like Wilco, Ryan Adams, and Jeff Buckley (particularly on "Waterfalls") but maintains a feel that is very individual. I find it to be very honest and refreshing. Lost and Found covers a whole spectrum of emotion and experience with the common theme of relationships. I look forward to seeing this album do very well even if it exists just below the surface of mainstream consiousness."

More I listen, more I like

"I heard about this CD on CBS Sunday Morning. I was interested by the reviewers discussion of todays' great songwriters. I love this guy. I'm a 50 year old former music junkie so disheartened by the crap disguised as music currently that I rarely get enthused about an artist. Griffin House has the goods. My advice to a hesitant purchaser is.....don't be, enjoy!!"
