““Germino is a poet at heart… Armed with a gravelly voice, and working within an acoustic setting, he falls somewhere between John Prine and Steve Earle; Germino’s songs are also similar to both of these artists in the way he can weave a yarn, bringing characters to life through his biting wit and uncompromising sincerity.” – All Music Guide
“This is an incredible collaborative effort from Germino, his producers and his band. The 14 track collection sees Germino at his very best.”
