Quotes About Friel's Music:
------------ Barry Graham , Folk Music Producer WHRV 89.5 FM---------------"His wonderful debut CD, ‘Twilight Red Sky,’ is full of gems, enabling the listener to truly feel the joy and pain that only a talented singer can convey. There’s a raw emotion to both Friel’s songwriting and performance. I was immediately impressed with the depth to which his music was able to resonate with me. ‘Twilight Red Sky’ is one of my top picks for 2007."

--------- Jeff Maisey, The Virginian-Pilot, January 19th, 2007 ----------"Virginia Beach singer/songwriter Skip Friel uses his ten-track CD, "Twilight Red Sky," to take listeners down the back roads of Americana. .... Friel's guitar work is exceptional. His voice recalls the tone and phrasing of Randy Newman, Leonard Cohen and, at times, Van Morrison. The mix of guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, pedal steel and violin is nearly perfect .... If radio station The Coast were still around, "Twilight Red Sky" would be a natural for heavy play list rotation."
