"Ian Charles " Wishing Street" is the dawn of a new era! As an avid music collector with over 500 titles in my collection...the last few years I've been mostly disappointed by the "Sterility" of most modern music..This new album with a crackling new band, and veteran producer. Delivers fresh harmonies and catchy rhythms...( The La,La,La song... Especially!) But he also gives me a fresh challenge... Welcome to the new world of Ian Charles....buy it and you'll be glad you did! Regards,,Nicholas Burke"
This is absolutely a modern classic...

"This Cd pours out so much emotion. It is filled with an energy and class that is lost in many other Alt-Country recordings. It has enough twang to satisfy the Country fan for sure. But, it also has a kind of "Soul" music back rhythm.His voice is incredible. It gracefully flows along from song to song. There's Country, Soul, Folk, Gospel,and Rock-n-Roll here. All of these are evident in the songwriting but, this is an original first and foremost. His lyrics are pure poetic storytelling. I can't get enough of this. This is destined to be a classic of all time for Ian Charles. Now everybody?............Listen!!"

"This is Ian Charles' best Cd so far. It's perfect in length and the songwriting is above and beyond alot of other artists right now. I hear so many different "ghosts" from music's past through this album. None though, that I can pin point. I love to listen to this very early in the morning when I'm driving to work. The songs stay with me all day, and that is more than alright with me. The best cd I've picked up by an indie this year so far."
