by the music of local artist Valentine...a
prodigious performer and solo artist...and a soulful vibe in the vocal
arrangements."

"The most attractive aspect of
Better Days is the whimsical lyricism that Valentine is known
for. "Valentine’s charm and willful voice makes Better Days worth
a listen."
-Musician's Trade Journal
"The music sizzles and the vocals
are right on the money. With considerable talent and versatility evident
throughout, Valentine is a standout!"
-Boston SoundCheck Magazine
"Valentine's his name and we got
some bluesy, jazzy, rockin' keyboards here. As the writer of this album
also, a high five goes out to him for all the good work. Nice job!!"

"Do yourself a favor, and
pick up a copy of "Walkin' Shoes" and find out what you've been
missing."
-CD Baby.com
"Bluesy, jazzy, rockin'
keyboard-based sophisticated pop sure to please any Steely Dan fans."
-Real Time Records.com "Solid
song structure, unflappable delivery and beeline arranging.....
the artist roots are showing above the soil. So much of this CD sounds
so familiar I must have heard his work before. Perhaps somewhere in
the soundtrack of my own life!"
