Jim Page
"More reminiscent of the Woody Guthrie I heard as a boy than anyone I’ve listened to in the intervening years" - Philip Elwood, San Francisco Examiner http://www.myspace.com/seattlejimpage
David Rovics
"David Rovics is the peace poet and troubador for our time."
Cindy Sheehan"
David Rovics is a guy George W. Bush would probably like to clamp in chains at Guantanamo Bay -- the last American protest singer (or so it seems)... In these days of ongoing neo-conservatism he carries the torch of dissent and protest -- in fact if the great Phil Ochs were to come back from the dead tonight he'd probably be hailed as the new David Rovics."
Andy Kershaw, BBC Radio 3 http://www.davidrovics.com/
