WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT BONE CHURCH?
Sam Zurick's guitar and Tim's voice have shared many songs and stages together, but I think they finally are finding their place together, as those few moments in the chorus of "Wearin' Torn" there is a piece of bliss where both perfectly coalesce."
"Chances are, if you like anything the Kinsella family has done, you are going to love this record. If not, well, I think you are missing out on some terrific songs."
"We're now living a post-modern life, and Kinsella rightfully re-evaluates even the notion of satisfaction. it's a telling thought from one of Chicago's most idiosyncratic and prolific songwriters, and the reason why this album was not supposed to exist."
"Zurick's sound is one that is so unique and talented that he often has the listener thinking he has more than just two hands."
