Just to be clear, our cd is not just a rehearsal tape in Garage Band. It’s a serious piece of musical art. Here’s what some insiders told us on a thorough listen:
“ ‘ I’ll Stop For A Dollar ’ by Big Red Sun is a highly musical album. Its mix is perfect, needing no improvement in my opinion. Songwriting and musical arrangements are well-crafted and performances are played and recorded to perfection.”
Cliff Goodwin, Music Director and performing/recording guitarist (Joe Cocker, Mohican Sun Allstars, Bose Corporation’s “the Linemen”, etc)

“I really liked ‘ I’ll Stop For A Dollar ’ by Big Red Sun. The songs have strong melodies and catchy hooks, but the best part is the two phenomenal lead singers. Vocals are super-soulful and heartfelt. My favorite songs on this album are ‘Tokyo’, ‘It Will All Be Arranged’, ‘Take It Down’ and ‘Gotta Know Why’ ”
Lance Quinn, producer/guitarist (Jimi Hendrix, Talking Heads, Bon Jovi, etc)
