I saw this man open for another relative unknown at Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines Iowa a few years ago and was immediately hooked! He opened for Anderson East. I did love em both but this guy needs more recognition! Michael Streeter
Simmons is a literary singer-songwriter: the analogy of seeing life as a circus isn't a new one, but I haven't seen it developed and extended as well as Simmons does on this album. All of Simmons's works are worth picking up; this one's great for how he mixes a discussion of his personal struggles with universal and political dimensions. none
Discovered Kelly by doing a BC search for Bo Ramsey. Bo RULES, and Mr Pardekooper is instantly cool just by knowing him.
Great Iowa-homegrown stuff, glad to have found it! Bart Furp
Hard to believe that this has come from a band from Scotland! Close your eyes and you could easily be listening to an earlier Jackson Browne in the Californian heat. Great album. James Green
