"Brooks Young's voice, guitar and the airtight musicianship of his band make this CD a countdown to greatness."
New Hampshire Magazine
"Handsome Brooks Young delivers a clean, uncomplicated if not blistering solos while singing in a familiar style influenced by Mick Jagger, Peter Wolf and Van Morrison."
Music Connection Magazine
"Brooks Young has a vintage Rolling Stones feel."

Review of last week.
Wow, last week was simply amazing. We started off performing at The Flying Monkey with SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY for
Brooks Young's birthday on Thursday then we were off to Boston on Friday to perform at The Liberty Hotel where our good friend
James Montgomery sat in with us, then as we were playing Senator John Kerry and Robert Kraft (owner of the Patriots) showed up and watched
our performance and met the band.

Review by A.J. Wachtel
Seeing a young band from New Hampshire in one of Boston’s luxury hotels has me curious from the git-go: and my excitement builds as I enter the lobby and see a ton of people in motion walking around the stage and small round tables. This is my kind of place: an affluent pick-up joint with red-hot music. Brooks has a strong, expressive voice, his guitar reeks of Clapton licks and his music attracts a bigger crowd as the night goes on. His band, Andy Devine on guitar, Kirk Remignatti on bass and backing vocals, Jeff Leroy on keys and backing vocals and Dave Lombard on drums is a solid, enjoyable unit. I really like “You Don’t Know Why” and “Dance Alone” two power-pop melodies with the emphasis on POWER from their debut cd “Counting Down” and I especially dig their late-set version of “Jumping Jack Flash”. This is a party band to keep an eye on and The Liberty Hotel is rapidly becoming one of my favorite clubs to see a gig.
