Sounds Like: "The album is a delightfully demented romp through a musical landscape dotted with psychedelia, country, punk, folk, 60's garage, slippery saxophone and the-sound-of-things-falling-apart grooves. Keesing's smoky baritone provides the narrative focus while a cast of thousands- including Honeypole's Norman van der Sluys and the Black Cat's Bernie Wandel- provides the backdrop. The texture is dense yet atmospheric; think of the Kingdom of Leisure meets However. "The Aztec Heart Treatment" definately stands up to repeat listenings- just when you think Keesing has done it all, he pulls another rabbit out of his hat. This one's a winner." - Marcus Esposito, Snap Pop, June 2000
"Where popular music tends to paint with broad strokes, filk and punk cur right to the heart of the issue. From Yucca Mountain to School of the Americas to the power line they want to push through you backyard, the song of dissent is a needed wake up call to the people affected most. Pat Humphpries and Sandy O., Tom Neilson, Donald Keesing, Ani DiFranco, Sarah Themsen and Dar Williams are all progressive artists unafraid to play at benefit concerts, actions or marches..
