Sounds Like: Americana UK review 'a cross between Belle and Sebastian and the Byrds'....BBC local radio review 'Peter, Paul and Mary'.........Billy Butler on Radio Merseyside told Peter he sounded like John Denver....Big Steve of the Troubadors who hosts the fabulous accoustic nights at Henry Boons in Wakefield said "The Good Intentions travelled from Liverpool and took us back to a different era with their Gorgeous harmonies and heartfelt songs seeped in Americana! Pete Davies is an exceptional songwriter, their Demo CD has'nt left my car CD since Thursday night and the songs just get right under your skin. With Frank on Guitar and the gorgeous Gaby on harmony vocals they compliment Pete's fragile vocals perfectly( Cheers Steve! You're not bad yourself!!)
But we're the Good intentions. We sound like kin.You'd be best advised to listen and decide for yourself....
