"Compelling and Song-Centered"
Praise for the CD, "Scuffletown, live at the speakeasy":
"In a way, this CD has allowed me to appreciate these local songcraft aficionados more than I already did, because I get to play it over and over. Taking two instruments, harmonica and guitar, John Whitlow and Marc Carraway flesh out the sonic dynamics of folk, traditional blues, reggae and rockabilly in fresh ways. Carraway's pipes only get better the more warmed up he gets, bringing a comfortable, old-soul quality to traditional and personally-penned tunes. In fact, some of the strongest songs, 'All These Roads Lead Out Of Town,' 'Michael Goes To Water,' 'Mary In The Mountains' and 'All I Ever Needed,' are Carraway's work. Set against Whitlow's intuitive toots and bent notes, this collection of songs is compelling and always song-centered, which makes it playable and re-playable."
