“I absolutely love J.C. Spires new album ”Farewell To A Rose”. Sonically, it’s amazing... the production, arrangements and performances are incredible. The songwriting and vocals are mesmerizing. Love the way J.C. leaves space in his phrasing. Getting back to the sound... every instrument and vocal has so much warmth and clarity. The mix...incredibly musical. I’m a huge fan of his music and vision”.

“Spires is a seriously original artist whose songs are really deep thoughts directly related to HIS experiences and the delivery is so touching and heartfelt as to be a form of religion in their devout truth and when he sings it usually has the feeling of a prayer and a blessing. He’s moved well beyond the blues format to a reverent and more soulful place.  There is a depth of spirituality, a lust for lost and losing at love, and a stark and poetic feel for delivering sentiment in the simplest words and phrases. The depth to J.C.’s voice seals that.”
