"AM takes equal parts of classic Americana, folk-rock and pop, and melts them down into something entirely his own, and he does it with two things money can`t buy: imagination and taste," according to LA Weekly music critic John Payne. AM, a young Louisiana native, effectively channels Wilco`s pop sensibilities, with the intimacy of Josh Rouse and Coldplay. His soothing, soulful voice perfectly compliments his personal and stark songwriting and layered production. This is rootsy AM gold (pun intended). -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
