GREAT REVIEWS FOR "YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE THEM BOTH"! CLICK THIS ITEM TO READ A FEW EXCERPTS.

"The personality of this album: warm, unassuming, funny, relaxed—exactly what it should be without having any ego about it.  Brace and Cooper chose a dozen favorite songs beautifully suited to their voices and their front-porch approach....They gathered a group of musical friends to help realize this really beautiful, enjoyable album that displays a lot more heart and talent than you’ll hear most times you turn on the country radio." -- Mix magazine  
 
"Brace and Cooper's smart, soulful vocals sound great together, and the friendly vibe of their performances is truly engaging....this is a true-hearted pleasure of an album." -- No Depression magazine

"Duets are fun to sing when the chemistry's right, and when listening, if the voices intertwine effortlessly, the alchemy is a wonderment.  Eric Brace and Peter Cooper each have distinctive musical voices that meld together delightfully throughout."  -- Country Standard Time
 
"A record that showcases their songwriting brilliance and their take on works by songwriting peers: Kristofferson, Sinder, Lauderdale... Something beautiful." --- Honest Tunes magazine

"Moving and heartfelt music from two of Nashville's rising Americana stars. A treat for the ears and the soul." -- Audiophile Audition magazine

"The duo's voices complement each other, blending perfectly in a way I haven't heard in years." -- Hickory Wind magazine
 
"A portrait of friendship and song".... The music resides in the space between folk and country. It's tight and catchy without being slick or overly commercial; perhaps the term "back-porch country" best describes the mood....The picking on 'You Don't Have To Like Them Both,' is first-class...production is warm and natural....  If you like music that doesn't need to be glossy to deliver its message with impact, then 'You Don't Have To Like Them Both' should be part of your next musical meal. " -- Vintage Guitar
 
"These two longtime music journalists have made some mighty fine music separately, Eric Brace over several albums with his band Last Train Home, and Peter Cooper with his 2008 debut, "Mission Door." With this collaboration, the two East Nashvillians sound as if they were meant to make music together, recalling great duos from the Delmores to the Everlys to the O'Kanes." -- California Chronicle
