"If you like old Red Hot Chili Peppers, James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, Mighty Mighty Bosstones,the Roots, Phish or just straight ahead rock and roll this album is for you. This band consists of a singer/guitarist, bass, drums, keys, and a three piece horn section (as of now they are only 2 since the 'bone player left last year). The sound is organic but always funky and usually loud. The lead singer Dave Gutter frequently channels the spirit of James Brown and Henry Rollins at the same time which creates a soulful intensity unmatched by any singer to ever stand in front of a microphone. Check this album out and pick up their next album when it hits stores in June, you won't be disapointed."

"This group has such an original sound and their music has an awesome personality. The horns are amazing and the vocals jam. Their sound is slowly making it's way out west and all the people who have listened to their music love it. If you haven't heard them, do and if you have, Miss Coyne, keep listening."
Great music, great live, nice people

"This band is a great group from Maine. They have incredible talent, and are awesome live. I saw them last night and got to meet them after the show, they are incredibly nice, and there original music is excellent. I have yet to find a song by the Rustic Overtones that I do not like!"
I love this CD!!! You will too!

"Wow...about the only thing that beats listening to this CD is seeing Rustic Overtones in concert. 02/23/01 at the UMass Amherst Skybox was amazing. But this CD does everything but capture the live experience. With great guitars, killer horns and a crazy organ, Gutter, Spencer, Tony and the rest are always giving the latest pop bands a lesson or two in style and beat. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS CD, BUY IT NOW. You won't regret it. In fact, you'll thank yourself. ADD IT TO YOUR SHOPPING CART NOW!"
