Here's what some critics had to say about Slowtrain's previous independently recorded and released record.
"Four out of Five Stars!" Arsenio Orteza, The Times of Acadiana
"They're probably new to you, but those that have discovered them have that smug feeling of being onto something good." Jeffrey Overstreet, Promontory Artists
"Call it what you will - simply put, this is some good stuff." Brian A. Smith Phantom Tollbooth

May I borrow some of YourSpace to promote MyCdRelease?
The all new, all original CRUELTY arrives Tuesday, July 29, and I'll celebrate with a show at Austin's legendary Cactus Cafe. It's free, aside from the $15 you'll certainly want to spend on the CD. Raina Rose opens at 8:30 pm, then Southpaw Jones performs in his finest suit, and nothing will ever be the same.
Happy 4th of July...weekend. Don't smoke weed. You go to jail. Cops aren't respecter of persons. Look at Willie. Big star. So the next time you pull out a joint, you better think long and hard about it. The more you know....
