We Are Each Other's Angels, Vol. I & II:
"What struck me about this work is the commitment on the part of Hungry for Music to produce a fundraising vehicle that matched so closely with their program of instrument donation. While capitalizing on the popular resurgence of Angels, Hungry for Music has maintained dignity for the children they serve, as well as for the "spirit" of angels." - TPB Review
"This two-disc, 39-song effort hues to the "angel" theme, which wouldn't be much more than conceptual if the songs weren't so well-chosen." - New Orleans Gambit Weekly
"...an invigorating and inspiring tribute to the human spirit."- Body And Soul	"Plenty of variety, solid performances, and a good cause makes this one worth searching for." - The Austin Chronicle

A Special Collection:
"Good intentions have led to many a good recording, but few as heartfelt, homespun, and hard to categorize as Hungry for Music: A Special Collection, Vol. I. The album zigzags across musical paths embracing blues, pop, rock, jazz, gospel, R&B, and both traditional and comtemporary folk along the way. There's not only a little polish, poetry and lyricism here, but there's also a mixture of raw emotion, busker charm, street smarts and indomitable spirit fueling the highlights." - The Washington Post
"...the disc's mix of street performers and established artists provides for a terrific evening of music... " - The Washington City Paper
