"Though I must say I prefer Matt live hands down, his studio cds are good warm ups for the shows. This particular one is lots of fun, with great lyrics and catchy tunes. They're all heartfelt, personal, and touching - and when you see him perform live, you'll instantly be converted into a massive fan. He's hilarious on stage, and also extremely passionate - making an unforgettable experience. He's also not a "kid" - he's been around for years, making numerous amazing records on independent labels. You really believe him when he sings, he's got conviction and credibility. He's mature, experienced, and amazing. Check him out!"
Let Still Waiting For Spring be your first

"My friends and family know how much I love music that isn't killed by the radio so when my sister-in-law gave me Ernst by Matt Nathanson I was ready for a something new. I'm glad she did. After hearing Ernst, I went to ...com to see what else was out there. I now own all of his albums. Still Waiting for Spring is a great collection of his work. It's simple but it's also good to pop in the CD player for a drive. His music isn't to the level of DMB or John Mayer but he's getting there. You can see the potential. If you were to buy a CD to get the idea of Matt, then this is the one. Highly recommended!"
Prediction--2003 is Gonna be Matt's Year to Truly SHINE

"I have been listening to Matt for about 3 years now. This is one of my favorite CD's of his. Little Victories has pretty much turned into my theme song. Matt was on tour recently after release of his newest CD.."When Everything Meant Everything". I live in Michigan and he doesn't make it to the Midwest that often so I flew down to see him perform at the University of Florida. If you think Matt is good...wait until you can catch him LIVE. HE IS AWESOME!! If you are a fan of John Mayer, Howie Day or Ari Hest--you will love Matt! ..."
This kid's good

"When you listen to this CD for the first time, you will be in awe. The first thing you will think will be 'WOW, this kid is good". Next, you'll be asking yourself "How is this kid not HUGE!?" It's that good. Each song is layered beautifully, and the lyrics have been crafted with intricate detail by Matt. Born in Boston, a great singer/songwriter birthplace, and moved to San Francisco, a great musician's city (gave birth to the likes of the Counting Crows, etc.) He was destined for glory. Matt has been writing songs since he can remember, and it definitely stands out as one of his best talents. Oh yeah, did I mention he can play the hell out of a 12-string? This CD features David Immergluck of the Counting Crows on the electric guitar, pedal steel etc. and the result is an amazing collaboration between two great talents that make one incredible record. This kid's gonna be huge, can't wait for his new album to come out! I'd say definitely buy this, it's spectacular. Put Howie Day to shame in concert too!"
So glad to have found him....

"I heard Matt almost three years ago at CBGB in New York. My roommate and I were there to listen to another singer, but we stuck around for Matt's set. OH MY GOD were we glad we did! We have been big fans ever since and wish he would make his way East more often! I was thrilled to hear about the American Pie song - I hope that the exposure will bring Matt the recognition he deserves. I have all of Matt's albums and I play this one constantly. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone and everyone. I also suggest you try to catch Matt live - he's so great!!"
