" Bill Passalacqua is one of those artists you'd love
to see release about five albums every year....as his
new " Jack Rabbit and other Love Songs " follows the
grand tradition of his debut " Reckless Pedestrian "
with warm back porch audio & seat belts required
spectrum of entertaining subject material & various
musical styles. Each selection makes you wonder " what
will he come up with next. A + is my review....& Top
10 in total talent thru my 12 yrs in
radio. "

Rambles.net review
Passalaqua is a man with a big heart, a big hat and a big love for Texas.
And this is a very clever collection of songs and deep thoughts, that makes
us wish for more, more, more.
"Passalacqua is clever and witty in a sardonic
manner reminiscent of Robert Earl Keen (on a good day). Spreading
himself across folk, bluegrass, country, blues and even pop, he lives in
the present, observing and satirizing." ***1/2
-- John Conquent, Third Coast Music
Don Gerard of the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette
on Bill Passalacqua: "One of the finest modern-day
troubadours on the road . . ."
Don Gerard on Bill's debut CD,
Reckless Pedestrian: "The album is a wonderful
ten song collection sure to whet the appetites of folk, bluegrass and country
music fans keen on well spun tales with simple yet solid musical backdrops."
"Hopefully the title is only a joke because I don't
want to say goodbye to this very promising talent."
-- Marc Nolis Rootstown Music, Belgium
"With a wonderful salt of the earth audio, Bill
Passalacqua's 'Reckless Pedestrian' CD . . . floors my every ear
bone. Combine that true human audio, with true human lyrics of ultra
witty proportion . . . & relaxed, but pro backdrop pickin' . . . and
you've got an International grassfire of deserved popularity just waiting
to be discovered." -- Eddie Russell, Country Eastern /
Outlaw for Peace Radio
"He has a born satirist's way with words and more
salty twists than a hot pretzel." -- Marty Rosen,
Louisville Leo, 5-13-1998
"If you wish to listen to some original songwriting
that lacks pretension and is filled with meaning, then go see Passalacqua
at his next show." -- Brian Stewart, Texas
Beat, 6-1997
"As the line continues to blur between country,
folk, and pop, Bill Passalacqua's stripped down indepedent release is like
a welcome breath of fresh air . . ." -- Victoria Moon,
Louisville Music News, 8-1998
