Press Reviews

The very first track on this Country-Rock album has your feet tapping from the very first bar and sets the mood for some really good listening pleasure.  The style is vaguely reminiscent of The Bellamy Brothers in that it has the same buoyant "lift your spirits" feeling about it. 

Particular favourites of mine are the title track ''I'll be there" and "This Time Around", but each song has its own individual appeal.  It is a real pleasure to listen to original songs instead of the same tired old revamps all the time.

Spencer & Van Luit's approach is fresh and appealing and I look forward to hearing more of them in the not-too-distant future.
