"Jackpot! Now, perhaps more than ever, it seems that you can't swing a Martin steel-string without hitting a folk singer. But one of the great things about the persistence and popularity of singer/songwriter types is that every so often a new voice comes along that reminds us...
"In the vast sea of singer/songwriters, Sloman's rich, clear, well-recorded voice stands out...There's plenty here for folkies and non-folk fans alike to grab...
"In addition to his use of abundantly vivid personal details and storytelling/songwriting tactics (as on 'Charlie'), Sloman's most surprising trick could be his rewrites of cover songs like 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' or 'Summertime,' where he gets the words down right but embellishes and distends the music, adding his own melody underneath to create a completely new song that's respectful and appreciative of the original, but fresh and vital nonetheless."
