Artist: Garett Brennan
"Woody Guthrie meets Tom Waits" -Cookie Marenco
"Hotter than a July day indeed! These are songs for our moment in time--and for changing our time." -Bill McKibben, author / activist
"There's more to the Portland roots-music scene than an attic full of quaint old instruments and a Luddite's disdain for amplification. Filtered through the fine musical sensibilities of performers and writers like Garett Brennan and his super-group The Great Salt Licks, the front-porch-in-summer sounds of roots music bring a timeless quality to even the most recent songcraft. Sounds a little like Nebraska-era Springsteen minus the Dust Bowl anguish..." - Rediviva Magazine, Hood River
"Storyteller, songteller, fictioneer, poet, troubadour, wandering balladeer...a hymn to and a cry for the American West." –Brian Doyle, Portland, OR
"Brennan's clearly following the speak-singing storytelling style of Greg Brown or Tom Waits...if you can't afford your own mountain cabin, this album will take you right there." –Willamette Week, Portland, OR
"Garett Brennan takes you from the roots to the rafters, and all the way to the mountain top with his acoustic jungle folk rock, using a blend of backwoods harmonies and lyrics that make you wonder if he's quite serious or not." –Weekly Volcano, Olympia, WA
