craig werth - music

"His songs, gems of communication, are made with a voice of pure beauty and instrumental work so precise that it's a wonder he finds the room to get so much honest soul into them."

- David Matheson, founder Moxie Früvous, Artist-Producer

"There is a grace of language and spirit beating at the heart of this recording. Brilliant and inspiring." - David Francey in praise of "The Spokes Man"

"Craig Werth hit a home run with this one! Every track is worthy of airplay -- a great mix of melody, lyrics and a wonderful supporting cast." - Steve Clark, host of Acoustic Planet, Erin Radio
