"Four hours ago I wouldn't of known Will Kimbrough from your cousin. That was before I saw him perform with Rodney Crowell at the Carolina Theatre. From the moment he struck his first chord I was in awe. First off, with just he and Rodney on stage, the guy had a lot of work to do just to pull off harmony vocals, fills, and lead guitar parts. I swear, three talented musicians couldn't have done what this guy did. He was amazing. Mid-show Rodney left the stage to give Will a chance to show his stuff. No one was disappointed. I joined about 50 other folks lined up to buy "This" after the show. By the time I got home I was humming Will Kimbrough tunes. This guy can pen some hooks! I'm looking forward to his next release."
Excellent songwriting

"I have been a fan of Will Kimbrough since his days with Will and The Bushmen. He has once again shown his great ability to write song loaded with melody and messages that say something. With all of the junk that is passing as songwriting these days Will still gives us hope for the future. I have had this cd in my player for about a week now and simply love it. Kim Richey also sings backround on many songs. I promise any one who buys this will be pleased they did."
Will Kimbrough - This - a fantastic CD

"I was lucky enough to see Will perform at Davey's Uptown in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 22, 2002. The music was absolutely fantastic! It amazes me that Will does not get more airplay - but I guess that is just a statement about the quality of music today. Will's music blends many different styles (country, blues, rockabilly, etc.) that will appeal to almost anyone. I also enjoy the personal feeling that Will gives to his songs. "Chimayo" is my favorite cut and, to me, worth the price of the whole album. After seeing him live, I have a new appreciation for the guitar. Will was fascinating to watch as he played song after song - his talents are remarkable. All I can say is check this CD out - you will not be disappointed!"

"Will Kimbrough is the person responsible for me ever picking up a guitar. That was almost 20 years ago and still Will creates music that makes my jaw drop and my heart stop. Why haven't we heard this music on the radio, oh yea, THIS is actually good music."
Damn good music

"It seems on radio today, airplay is in direct opposition to amount of talent. The less talent you have, the more you get played. This means that Will Kimbrough will probably never get airplay; too bad, because he's extremely talented. This album runs the gamut of musical styles; there's some good alt-country, some nice bluesy tracks, and even some poppy songs that sound like they were penned by Lennon and McCarthy. I saw Will years ago with Will and The Bushmen, and thought they were highly talented. Time has only made Will better. My only complaint about the album was that it's too short, about 36 minutes. Will, you shoulda done a few more songs!"
