TESTIMONIALS
"The kind of writing that makes you turn your head... uncondescendingly hip stuff, with the all too often 'missing link'...MELODY!"
Meg Griffin, SIRIUSradio.com
".......while the album is very much a group effort, Morsberger has stripped down the arrangements and put more of the focus on his singing and piano playing. The result is the kind of sophisticated pop record that's almost an endangered species these days, less pretentious and bloated than what Ben Folds and Rufus Wainwright are passing off these days but noteworthy for its superb craftsmanship."
Thomas Staudter, The Gazette

Marc Cohn and I listened to it on our way to the city last week and he totally dug it...'specially....'Save You, Save Me'. Hey, wasn't that a Lionel Ritchie song? I guess I probably have the title wrong but you know the one.....had to listen a few times....anyway you have a new fan.
Kenny White, songwriter, producer, composer (Shawn Colvin, Marc Cohn, Peter Wolf)
I listened to your CD. I truly love your writing...your voice...everything.
Soozie Tyrell singer songwriter, violinist, vocalist, The E Street Band
Wow. Robert, you have made such a beautiful, moving record. I love it. I just got done bawling my eyes out after hearing "Everyone Wants To Be Loved". Ripped my heart out... "The Last Song" too. Congrats my friend. If there is any justice in this world of music you'll get lots of recognition for this.
Steve Conte singer, songwriter, guitarist (The Contes, Paul Simon, Maceo Parker, Peter Wolf)
The richness and diversity of the songs and the arrangements, the emotionally charged lyrics, and of course your wonderful voice and playing. I don't know what else to say except I think it's a masterpiece. I'll be spending a lot of time listening to it in the coming weeks - congratulations!
Ronnie Lawson - keyboardist, composer (Steve Forbert, David Johanssen)
Like all great art, I have the feeling I am hearing only what is meant to be heard. And how does he get so romantic without being gushy? This guy is ridiculously undervalued in today's "marketplace". The fact that he can assemble a band of this (highest) caliber speaks loud and clear....
Billy Ward (drummer, Robbie Robertson, Joan Osborne, Chris Whitley)
Rob Morsberger is one hell of a good songwriter.Maybe more under the radar than over the rainbow in terms of a mass audience, but an artist deserving wider recognition.
Jeff Young (singer/songwriter/performer with Jackson Browne, Sting,Tracy Chapman)
Harrowing, funky, brilliant, rockin', soothing, Beatle-ish? - nah - Lennon-ish maybe. Newman-esque, perhaps, but only esque. First time in awhile I've re-wound to hear a guitar solo.
Jon Albrink, singer-songwriter, bassist
"Tactfully well crafted and not over embellished....Waiting For Wood is a wonderful mix of great songwriting and strong vocals supported by a fantastic band."
Will Schillinger, producer/engineer, Pilot Recording Studios, NYC
"Rob Morsberger is a master of the pop form, and lurking beneath his airtight production are great little stories of life and love, possession and loss. The sound of the album is exhilarating, fresh and uniquely lyrical."
Greg Calbi, Mastering Engineer (Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Paul Simon), Sterling Sound, NYC.
"Waiting For Wood is wonderful!... Thank you for gracing the airwaves of WUSB yesterday morning - the feedback I've received from listeners and other WUSB staffers alike concurs you're a wonderful guest who creates music which more people should know about ! I truly do appreciate the big chunk of time you shared with us -- I still can't get over how quickly the time went -- I initially told you we'd spend 15 or 20 minutes !"
Roseann Hoffmann, AAA Music Director WUSB 90.1 FM
