Sounds Like: YOU DECIDE FOR YOURSELF! Here is what the gods of music website said about our songs.Of, "TUG OF WAR", Dennis Jennings said, :The world is full of songwriters and singers, but when you sort the really talented ones from the rest the number decreases and only a few deserve merit. Crook is one of the talented few. This song is well crafted and well produced. It combines contemporary folk with English traditional music. It begins as a catchy folk-pop tune and then transforms into a fiddle tune that goes through some interesting variations.Adam Dollard reviewed "VENUS & MARS" and wrote, :Once again, here is another song that would fit in perfectly with any Tarantino film........it is a catchy, upbeat Latin/world track that could have anyone’s feet tapping along to the beat.............!Rob Mortensen gave "6am ROLLING HOME" 8.8 out of 10 and said, :The "OTHER" category really is the proverbial box of chocolates - you never know what your going to get! This piece is a particularly sweet surprise. In addition to being an immensely enjoyable tune, "6am ROLLING HOME" is expertly crafted.Read the full reviews at www.godsofmusic.com
