"..a redefined set of songs that stays true to the passion and prowess of the original...While it’s tempting to write this effort off as some sort of niche or a novelty, in the end, it’s hardly that. It’s a serious work that soars beyond whatever limits or liabilities it otherwise implies."
"Songs from the seminal album in a way they've never been played or heard before...bringing emphasis to the lyrics, the meaning and message." Nashville.com
"If you love Springsteen and great music, then you simply must get this one." Indie Voice Blog
