MUSIC INDUSTRY REVIEWS
FOR LINDSAY''S DEBUT SOLO CD
"LINDSAY THOMAS MORGAN"
COUNTRY MUSIC NEWS, OTTAWA, CANADA.
"Here''s someone with the talent and personna to pull it all off and become another of the bright new stars coming out of th Canadian music scene!
Morgan supports that vocal attractiveness with his own original material . . . all eleven songs are his own compositions and there''s not a dud among them."
LARRY DELANEY
RPM Magazine, TORONTO, CANADA.
"One of the cleanest best-balanced albums to come down the
pipe in some time. Morgan is one of those rare, personality- vocalized talents who demands an audience. This is no wet- behind-the-ears, singing machine. He has the vocal power of his convictions, a spring-tight projection with all the vocal weight necessary to make the lyrics ring with passion, bounce, pathos and truism. Put Morgan up against the best in country and he will match the best of them."
WALT GREALIS
CHAM Radio Hamilton
"Fresh, exciting sound! A new kind of country."
JOEL CHRISTIE
KWYZ Radio - Washington, USA
"One of the hot new records already making the national scene, and it''s no wonder, since both the vocal and production work here is a class above most everything else these days.
This Wales-born, Canadian transplant has a great record on his hands, listener reaction growing as the record reaches airwaves."
WAYNE CORDRAY
CKGL Radio - Kitchener
"Lindsay Thomas Morgan has always been a great songwriter.
With the initial reaction of his self-produced album, he could very well be one of those overnight successes that have taken a lifetime!"
