"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
