With each release Stewart Francke digs a bit deeper in his exploration of emotional truth and consequences, and gets better at reporting what he finds. As his songwriting matures his musical touch has actually gotten lighter, more deftly weaving what are his most varied musical strands yet. The gravity and release of "Letter From Ten Green," Francke's moving depiction of a Harper Hospital stay during his battle with leukemia, mark the distance he's come. Providing spirited balance are "Prowlin'," which sounds like "Greeting From LA"-era Tim Buckley, and his version of "You're So Good To Me," dedicated to the late Beach Boy Carl Wilson, another family man who believed in the curative power of American rock & roll. -Ben Edmonds ~ Hour Detroit - February 2000
