Here is a brief excerpt of Nashville Music News’ review of Night Owl: 

“There is always a Hammond B3 lurking in the background like Bob Dylan’s Nashville recordings as well as some of the soulful country tracks that came out of Muscle Shoals. Ted Russell Kamp pays tribute to a lot of American music heroes weaving The Band, Bob Dylan and Spooner Oldham gravitas throughout this song cycle.”
