2008 MEDIA RAVES FOR THE BOBS

"Let's just get this out of the way right away before
this review goes any further: The Bobs are amazing. They have won over
a grizzled folkie who thinks tunes are incomplete without a guitar solo
or two...The songs themselves are well-arranged, joyful, and in most cases, hysterical...It's
hard to be funny without being corny, and hard to be intelligent
without being overly clever and trite. The Bobs succeed on these fronts...
rewarding ear-candy of the best kind."
-www.indie-music.com

"You'll figuratively lie on your back just like a trusting puppy and let the four of them 
musically scratch your belly with dizzy ditty after dizzy ditty."
-Backstage
