“Having been involved in radio and the music business for almost 40 years, I’ve been given hundreds of records, tapes and CDs. I’ve become somewhat jaded. So, when I received this CD by the Straight Avenue Band, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I felt it would probably be good, but most likely over-synthesized, like so much music of today. Boy, was I surprised! What we have here is real music, sung with lots of feeling, and played on real instruments. What a concept! Back in the 60’s, I fell in love with the sounds of jangly guitars and B3 organs. It became classic rock & roll. The Straight Avenue Band has adopted those sounds, and added some of their own, to deliver their Christian message. And it all sounds so contemporary. Give it a listen. I think you’ll like it.”

“Cool Grooves. Classic Rock with the jangling guitar sounds of the 60's. This is real unsaturated music. Live instrumentation without newfangled digitized sounds. This group from Wichita, Kansas may be onto something here! For some good old relax by the sunset music check these cats out. Music that all the cool cats is rockin' out to! Standout Tracks: Wilderness Of Life, Hope Of Glory”
“Rock, folk and a little bit of country come together nicely on "Journals: The Wilderness Sessions" (Mouse House Records, 12 songs, 38 minutes), the latest offering by the Kansas-based Straight Avenue Band. Group members Sharon Urban, Randy Neill, Todd Truitt, Charles Urban and Cheryl Knocke show through their project that major labels don't have a corner on the talent market. For proof, check out the tunes on this fine set, including "Wilderness of Life," "You Set Me Free" and "Glory Days." The album is available at www.straightavenue.com and www.cdbaby.com.”
