  “Sometimes you make an effort to catch something original and you just find the same old, same old, [but] SOMETIMES you get a pleasant surprise… Shantytown is that pleasant surprise. Who knew a longhaired skinny white boy could sum up so much soul. These guys own a vibe that makes you want to jump right in.”

  “Shantytown has talent, originality and inventiveness. Packed with 14 tracks, Trying to Find The Door is a powerful and heartfelt performance, punctuated by wailing blues harp, Hammond B3, horns and catchy rhythms. Take a chance on this CD; you won’t be sorry you did.”

  “Frankly, the music scene is bullshit. However, these guys pour out from their soul because they believe in it. And we could all use a little more belief in our lives.”
