"A free and easy album, Chickaloon is an aromatic blend of buoyant, country-fused rock, ambling self-reflection and hard-driving blues. It`s a solo project for Evan Phillips, who also plays with his self-described `twangy band` The Whipsaws...There are a few notable tracks, among them `Wounded Soldier`, a poetic narrative that contains lyrics reminiscent of battles of old and a salute to a Civil War novel. But its lament could just as soon apply to the current conflict" - Lillie Dremeaux, Anchorage Daily News (Skip Tooth Records)
