    "Song Writer that will grow on you."

    By Listener on December 22, 2007

    I bought this album not knowing what to expect. It's the kinda gambling I like to do; go to the music store and browse, find something that looks interesting and plop down my bucks. Usually I do pretty well and this turned out to be a good album. And it's been growing on me. Some albums are immediate hits, some never make it to my listening cycle and others I'll keep going back to and they eventually strike me. That's what this album does. If you like singer/songwriters with a gritty style and have the patience to delve into the material buy this album.

    As an older listener, I enjoyed the synthesis of cool '70s music a la Cat Stephens with unusual instrumental sounds that seem very modern. This is the kind of music you can sit and listen to or file in the background as comfortable "tunes"; each song has an innovative flair, not hard rocking nor old fashioned droning but all very satisfying. There's a classical edge that appeals as being musically mature, the kind of music that should stand the test of time.

    "Farley plays an eclectic mix of blues, folk, reggae and rock. He performs relatable songs and offers a melodic embrace through fingerstyle,

    flatpick and slide guitar in the styles of Robert Johnson and Ry Cooder... his powerful blues voice rounds out a notable musical takeaway for listeners."
