Jeffrey Foucault:  Ghost Repeater  review in THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES:  "One of the best albums of the year... Jeffrey Foucault incorporates the best of the Americana, alt-country and roots-rock genres into his third solo album... Those who recall Bruce Springsteen in the pre-"Born to Run" days will hear echoes of the Boss... as well as the best of the Texas troubadours, including Joe Ely and Butch Hancock. But there's nothing derivative about Foucault's haunting allusions... the fundamental truths that emerge are undeniable... Musically, Foucault has created a harmonious minimalist sound that's driven by his acoustic strumming and the economical Mark Knopfler-style electric fretwork of veteran Iowa guitarist Bo Ramsey... there's a tumbling tumbleweeds sensibility to Ghost Repeater reminiscent of the finest Dust Bowl anthems."

Andy Friedman: Nicknamed the “Hillbilly Leonard Cohen” (Athens News) and “The King of Art Country,” (Minneapolis City Pages) Friedman’s “fractured folk songs” (Los Angeles Times) explore issues of art, wild dreams, and wanderlust, while celebrating “those who wash down life’s knuckle sandwiches with ice-cold despair” (Time Out New York). NPR's Faith Salie adds, "Friedman is not exactly one of those musicians you play while you’re paying your bills or cleaning the house. His songs demand that you sit down and listen to them, which is why he is such a hot live act.” Artist sites and sounds: www.jeffreyfoucault.com  and http://www.myspace.com/otherfailures
