“we listened to this again for the countless time today and it and his CD is joyful, artful and full of what brings huge smiles... From first to last track, his CD is what music is made of. Keep doing it IAN MCARTHUR BAND! Keep doing it!”

“This cat makes it evident that he loves what he's doing, and his accomplished guitar style will make you fall in love with his work on only the first few bars... when he launches into his guitar part (right from the start), you'll know what I mean. Out of the 10 lively tracks Ian opened up for me, the most successful (for these ol' ears, anyway) was "Messin' Round"”

“Great songs, performances, and productions! Like the fact you keep it 'dirty' on the tracks. To smell the grease on the tubes, beer stain stickiness, and cigarette smoke in the air. Too much of today's rock is so 'clean' and digitally perfect. It does something to a band when they forget how to 'work the dirt' so to speak. So keep it filthy and gritty my man! The roots are the best part.”
Steven West - Reverbnation
“There are some polished gems here and with the nice mix of male and female vocals, different rhythm sections and refusal to be stuck in one type, many are going to find some good listening.”
