POOR BOY

There may have been a time when I didn't know Sam and Joe Herrmann, but I don't remember for sure when it was. Our friendship has so enriched my life that even earlier experiences seem affected by knowing them. I suppose the first time we were together, the very first, was an October Sunday nearly five years ago when they came to our home on Dillon's Run for music the way we made it on so many Sundays.

You may have heard some of the music on this record before. It has been soaked up from all sorts of places, but each song is special because of a certain Critton Hollow twist or turn. What comes across clearly is their commitment to their music, which is the driving force behind their art. Michael Kline, March 25, 1979

SWEET HOME

Sam likes to call Critton Hollow music "People Music". It's the people who write it, the people who live it, and the people who love it. It's sometimes fact, sometimes fantasy, often funny, but always sincere. We think you'll like this, our second record, and hope it will convey the deep feelings we have for the music, our audiences and each other.
