"A Socially Conscious songwriter with intelligent lyrics"

— Randy Walker, WSGE 91.7

“The opening track "Company Town" tells the story of this project. The song offers crisp clear guitars and lyrics that get the mind to consider something besides the circumstance most of our lives are locked into allowing us to focus on other peoples conditions and lives. McHale's guitar is huge, but his vocal is even larger, somewhere between a low tenor and high baritone. It's a great voice for his topical tunes. I hear shades of Young, J.J. Cale, and many of the best writers of our generation. Rob McHale recorded this with sparse production to allow the lyrical content to take center stage, but when he uses players and production the tunes are made more vivid. ”

— Christopher Anderson, Victory Music, Seattle, WA

I enjoyed "Eagles & Doves." It's got a real nice ebb & flow. Good luck out there.
