“The Twangtown Paramours will find that this, their first full band offering, takes them into the upper echelons of blues and Americana bands reaching ever larger audiences, because this collection of songs is simply too good not to be heard by as many fans of grown-up music and of composition as it can reach. A wonderful album”
“While those first two acoustic records made it to #11 and #2 on the folk charts and received good reviews, my gut says THIS is the album that can get The Twangtown Paramours noticed by the world at large. The songs are thoughtful, well written and the production is faultless.”
“The Twangtown Paramours hit a grand slam with Double Down on a Bad Thing. Good stuff!”
“With the stellar resumes of all the cats involved in this date, it’s almost a busman’s holiday kind of set. At the core, two white cats with the blues have the right feel, and while you can tell nobody here ever picked cotton, the spirit moves them. The perfect addition to your after hours listening queue.”
“Lead singer MaryBeth Zamer is a vocal force of nature – one of the most expressive vocalists I have heard in some time.”
“Lewis’s songs acknowledge the difficulties confronting lovers in close quarters, emotionally and otherwise, whereas Ms. Zamer’s smart, nuanced vocals – clear, plaintive, resonant - honor the complexity (and duality) inherent in her husband’s lyrics.”
“The Twangtown Paramours Double Down on a Bad Thing - a great listen for pop tinged blues with plenty of variation and originality.”
“I sat listening and lamenting not getting to this CD sooner – it’s really good. I like everything about it, from the packaging to the superb production and musicianship. I would hate to be the person charged with the responsibility of choosing which song to work as the single from this project.”
“The Twangtown Paramours bring a blend of thought provoking lyrics with angelic vocals combined with well-accomplished musicians. What more could you ask for?”
“Great new songs, some touching, some just plain fun. These Paramours get better with every new release”
“There isn’t a bad song on here and it’s really quite clear that the Paramours are made of some seriously talented stuff; just getting better and better with each record they finely craft”
“These are professional musicians, with the dexterity and variety you’d expect from people with backgrounds like theirs”
