The Bandwagon

"...the response to this has been overwhelming.. a moving, interesting...meaningful, beautiful piece of music..."

Jonathan Schwartz, WNYC (NPR)

And here's some other kind words from others:

"Experiencing "Christine's Refrigerator" is one great adventure."
Reviewer: Bob Telson, Academy, Tony and Grammy-award nominee, composer of "Calling You" from "Bagdad Cafe" and composer of "Gospel at Colonus"
"These songs tell amazing stories, in the music as well as the lyrics. At once accessible and totally original, heart-felt and daring, romantic but unwearily world-wise, all conveyed with Margolis' grittily elegant voice. This is the 1st CD I play my friends to take them on a great adventure."

“Christine’s Refrigerator” is filled with lovely, soulful, delicious art."
Reviewer: Hugh Prestwood, Hit Songwriter, "The Song Remembers When", "Ghost In This House"
"This is a marvelous CD. Besides John’s remarkable vocals, every song was a miniature voyage to someplace I’d never been before. “Christine’s Refrigerator” is filled with lovely, soulful, delicious art."

"In a class by itself, brilliant all the way."
Reviewer: Alain Mallet, producer Jonatha Brooke
"Sometimes funny, often heart breaking, always brilliant, Christine's Refrigerator is a welcome reminder that high art and popular song form can be great bedfellows. John Margolis has put together a collection of songs that are so fresh and original, I feel like my ears just received a big jolt of innocence. Superb all the way!"

"Astonished by the combination of intelligence... depth of feeling and wit..."
Reviewer: Bart Midwood--author, The World in Pieces, Bennett's Angel
"I am astonished by the combination of intelligence, technical competence, depth of feeling and wit -- four qualities rarely found in the same package. "Christine's","Free" and "Good With Speeches" made me weep."

"Great Song!
Reviewer: Arif Mardin
"Christine's Refrigerator" is a wonderful song written and sung by the very talented John Margolis."

"Makes my eyeliner run"
Reviewer: Bruce Hornsby
"John Margolis' music makes my eyeliner run."

"Timeless, beautiful work."
Reviewer: Alex Cohen
"Heard your CD on NPR. Timeless, beautiful work. As strong as Newman, Waits or any of those folks…"

"Clever collection of enchanting stories."
Reviewer:"Singer Magazine".
" 'Christine's Refrigerator' is a must add to any music connoisseur's collection.... While the title cut is tops on my list, there are so many other tracks that stand out on the clever collection of enchanting stories..."You Think You Know Someone", Here's Something You Don‚t See Everyday," and "Everyone in Love With the Wrong Person," are all great songs, however I really got hooked on"Scrap of Hope." It's a countrified, bluesy, Johnny Cash-style song, one that gets stuck in your head all day." G. T.
