“Rohlf’s music is typically catchy, quirky, and lighthearted with clever and funny lyrics; on the new album he takes the title to heart, equally comfortable singing power chord-driven rockers, country flavored folk rock, and personal folk fare.”
Frank Kotcher – San Diego Troubadour
“Shawn P. Rohlf’s busker punk sensibilities come roaring out of the night like a box car from Barstow, all desert dust and whiskey breath. His new solo album “Country Mouse, City Mouse” bears witness to Rohlf’s prairie roots, wry wit, and street-tested, multi-instrumental mastery.”
