"Henry engineers his most compelling and far-reaching testimony to date.
Much like the message it delivers, the music cuts a wide swath: whimsy and
pain, dalliance and heartbreak, frustration and bliss. Henry puts his adroit

dynamics from straight-ahead roots folk to progressive jazz. Still, there is
an upwelling of raw veracity that binds this collection of songs into a true
album...Always true to theme, Henry encourages a freely collaborative
creative environment, one which consistently pays dividends in the lush layers
of sound that end up in the studio." ...

Like driving with the top down, sun on the horizon, endless possibilities. So uplifting and joyous!"

"Kurt Henry has evolved through folk, jazz, latin and quasi-Caribbean styles into his own distinctly American sound. With an organic production and a solid drumming foundation by producer Eric Parker, and including top support from local legends Harvey Kaiser and David Sancious, the KHB turns in a tight and varied set of mature tunes."

— Peggy Atwood, recording artist

fine and sometimes tragic poetry."

simmering artistic mixture. 'The Sailor's Wife' may be compared to Child
Ballads hard driving guitar... exhaltation of life and the spirit... It
steps with heart held high even as mind thinks back."
— The Daily Freeman

first true country rocker... sharp and witty... in a class with people
like Tom Paxton..."
