"earBuzz Review: Jon Fritz lands near the Eagles, Neil Young, and Pearl Jam with his finely produced and well-written collection of tunes in, "When It's Over". Fritz layers vocals over distinct and bright acoustic guitars, bass, and drums - and croons. We get our Neil Young influenced fix in Sweetness - a sugary and harmonically satisfying acoustic strummer with interesting dissonance in the guitars and chord movement. The black sheep of the CD is a tune called "Bitch", a parental advisory f-bomb tune about the lascivious trappings of the subject - (included is a edited version at track 13). The tune is over-the-top rock and roll angst - and is the only such tone on the CD. Our favorite track is the bonus, "One More Day" with lyric, "I want to be me. ." we find Fritz's identity and voice wonderful, intimate, personal, and comparison-less. which, we love, because as most believe - the more accurate comparisons to other artists ring true, the less likely an artist is going to be able to cut through the clutter of this music industry. Overall, the CD and performances are professional and high quality. Fritz's shining moment as a guitarist is during his passionate and raw string work in "Cold Hard Rain". CryBaby heaven. We want more. "I Know Why" is a rolling easy breeze with a chorus that lingers and lasts. Most of the tracks are related - you can hear a string that connects them. That kind of continuity is lacking in so many other CDs we hear - yet Fritz gets nearly 100% there with this effort. All indications are that Fritz is ready for the national attention his talent deserves. We look forward to more and his continued evolution into a unique musical voice.(www.earbuzz.com)"
