An Ode To The Powers of Love
“There’s an ample blues sound present in the duo’s music, but David Baird and Patsy Toop’s long collaboration under this moniker joins the growing ranks of successful acts from far-flung locations who’ve adopted the “Nashville” sound every bit as convincing as their American counterparts.” — Michael Stover, Music Existence
