Santiago's Vest in stores NOW!!!
THE SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER (3/14/08)
The first thing to love about singer-songwriter Gary Reynolds is that he sounds just like John Lennon. Just like him. The songs themselves continue the Lennon aesthetic of smart pop structures, keen, peppery musicianship and an easy, speak-sing voice that can go up or down to emphasize any point. Lyrically, "Santiago" leans toward clear narratives, little story-songs with catchy choruses and hard, spiky edges. The peaks...build sturdy and succinct jams into the songs, which resemble gritty Americana with tendencies toward surprising, hard-rock moments.
