John has always liked From The Desk Of Sally, but this last project really put him over the edge. Alternative music has many dimensions ... so does this band. He replayed the title track from "I Told You So" over and over and never got tired of it. Just this one song shows From The Desk of Sally's range has no boundaries and gives a new mission to indie musicians. The rest of their material gives a huge insight into the band and is equally as engaging! The newest release from From the Desk of Sally has a lot of great elements, including some influences from several famous acts that will be apparent when you listen to the CD. John was floored. "The guitars are great here ... I love ambient swells and great down strokes!" Also, he was captured by the vocals - lead and backup. The whole band comes together here and plays a mean, groovy, POP! John Foxworthy is known for his short reviews and long articles, he closes by saying "Listen to From The Desk Of Sally and say you knew them before they were famous!"
