"His vocals have a soulful, warm easy edge , never forced and flowing over a song like “Water Girl” as if Van Morrison had come from a sharecroppers’ farm. "
—Paul Kerr, americana-uk.com
"It is such a privilege to have the opportunity to get to hear hardworking, asskicking artists like Mosley. The kind of artists that aren’t being force fed to mass consumers. The kind of artists that deserve the kind of audiences pre-fab products posing as musicians garner."

An amalgam of folk inflected styles with tunes that concern themselves with love and loss, their music crosses into the urban landscape as easily as it inhabits and embraces it's rural roots. The duo's harmonies are sublime and tastefully evocative; their music is amply fulfilling and the structures incorporate sounds that travel far outside the standard instrumentation of the base genre to incorporate sounds from the city and world. |

 Carrie Rodriguez became known to the world through her unique collaboration with veteran songwriter Chip Taylor (author of Angel In The Morning, Wild Thing, etc), yielding three critically acclaimed albums of duets. Carrie has become an evocative vocalist and compelling composer -- now ready to take center stage on her own, evident in her solo album co-produced by Chip.
