    Michael Hirsch
    Syracuse Herald-Journal

  • "...The CD showcases the heart-felt vocal talents of Conan, who, like the singer he once worked for, truly knows how to turn a lyric... Conan handles the acoustic guitar and vocal chores with equal flair..."

    Syracuse Newtimes

  • "...Conan proves to be a formidable songwriter...Conan and the Showdogs may hail from Central New York but their hearts most definitely live in Nashville."
