简介:  "Wes Cunningham's second album sounds like the missing link between XTC's "Skylarking," and Jellyfish's "Belly Button." Repeated listenings to this gem reveal layers of musical and emotional nuance... An achievement even more remarkable in that Wes conjured it up completely out of his own meager funds, making up for the lack of resources with an abundance of talent and will. Not too often we can usher out the names of Jon Brion, but to do so here is not only accurate but properly complimentary to the stunning beauty of these songs... This is not fast food. This is a sit down, pull up a chair and stay awhile collection of conversation pieces. A runner for best of the year, so ya know: Extremely Highly Recommended"-NOTLAME (www.notlame.com)      "Fans of smart, highbrow pop will find no fault with this album."-AMG (www.allmusic.com)      "'I Love Eleanor' - This harmony-rich number will please fans of Ron Sexsmith and Eric Matthews"-Entertainment Weekly      "Wes Cunningham cuts a very tasty niche on 'Pollyanna,' falling somewhere between the sensitive, new-folk style of John Mayer and David Gray and the post-Beatles jangle pop rock of groups like XTC and the late, lamented Jellyfish - A"-Philadelphia Daily News
