The Wanderers: Press

It's About Time is a warm, up-close CD with great texture of sound and lots of heart. The timbre of maturity in your voices lends depth and authenticity to the songs and how they've traveled with you in your lives.

"...This wonderful collection of songs is a treasure. The music is so comfortable and authentic it takes the listener on a journey of heart and history that endures and lingers long after the last track is finished. Bill and Carl have selected a beautiful set of songs here from our epoch. Their commitment as partners through the years shines like a warming sunshine. The voices of these weathered Wanderers are as comfortable as a conversation with and old friend on an autumn afternoon..."

"They make you feel like they've lived every moment of these songs. This record is a treasure but what do you expect from one so long in the making? Let's hope it's not their last."

"Your CD is as good as anything out there in this genre' and better than most."

Congratulations on the marvelously lyrical, and memorable CD you two have created. "It’s About Time" has many tunes I'd not heard before, but believe me, I've listened to the CD so often that I feel I know all the songs by now. They have a lasting quality with a great lilt to them.

"You guys sure do a great job with my song."

“They do great covers of David Rea's "I've Been to Texas," David Mallett's "I've Been Around," and they include the great verse Bill Staines wrote but doesn't perform in "Roseville Fair." These are but some of the 13 songs on the CD, each of which is as together and polished as two fine musicians who've sung together for nearly half a century can sound. They've created an album to be proud of, one that's worth repeated listening.”

"You two are so incredibly comfortable together musically, and that really shows. The whole album brings back so many memories, both from specific songs and also the general tone of the songs.
Beautifully done!!"

"I listened to the CD and I totally enjoyed it, especially "Roseville Fair" and "I've been to Texas". The mix of instruments, your individual voices and your sweet harmonies is just right. You can hear all the pieces as well as the whole blend."
