"When "Live Acoutsic America" was released, I was amazed that this viable artist I had heard growing up was so talented that he had taken the energy from the keyboard and put it to piano. I thought it impossible to out do that album. Now, with "People", we get a fresh, new sound and we are taken on yet another ride into HoJo's better place.. with a rich, full sound of a band. I attended his concert and was thoroughly impressed, not just with the new material, but that he had transformed his previous hits into new versions, all of which were incredible. I give 5 Stars for taking a wonderful chance at a different sound, and for sticking with an overall positive and complete, balanced sound and image that one could only expect from Howard Jones."
AWESOME!! And he's a fellow SGI member!!

"PEOPLE is Howard's BEST CD to date!! The songs that move me the most are those inspired by Howard's practice of the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin. These songs include YOU'RE THE BUDDHA, TOMMORROW IS NOW, WE MAKE THE WEATHER, IF YOU LOVE and NOTHING TO FEAR. All concepts we believe in as Nichiren Buddhists! I, too, am a member of the same Nichiren Buddhist organization, the SOKA GAKKAI INTERNATIONAL (SGI.) You are AWESOME Howard!! Nam myoho renge kyo.Wes."
