Quotes

They are blazing new trails! —Two Rivers Times, Asbury Park, N.J. ...tunes that split the difference between irreverence and respect for country's traditions...a balancing act pulled off with panache... —No Depression Wright knows not only how to write'em, but how to arrange them as well —Colorado Daily Wright has a free-flowing writing style of his own, taking everyday situations and putting a satirical spin on them... —Illinois Entertainer, Chicago |
