"He's the bard of Tomales Bay" - Ramblin' Jack Elliott 

"I love the way you take your influences and make them your own" - Denis Johnson  (Jesus' Son, Train Dreams)

"One of the most distinctive singers and creative lyricists of his generation and the generations that flank him." -  Former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins
