PRESS QUOTES
“Rue has a wryly acute way of spurting out observations, as well as a clear, workmanlike sense of (his own) writing. For him, the latter involves the obvious but utterly crucial task of avoiding cliché,; something that reminds you of something else.”
~The Phoenix
“From the opener on, Rue’s music sets sharp hooks…”
~San Francisco Examiner
“…graceful, plaintive melodies. Gary’s music is…very melodic, very beautiful.”
~Minneapolis Star Tribune
“…songs carry the craft and know-how of someone who has listened to and learned from some of pop’s best lyricists and melody makers.”
~(Twin Cities) City Pages
…vibrant, catchy, exciting melodies.”
~(San Francisco) Bay Area Express
“…these songs are a clear cut above the usual…each one features at least one major-league moment, phrase or hook…”

“…songs peppered throughout are tuneful and strong.”

Some of the best music I’ve heard in eons.”
