PRAISE FOR HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS' WEATHER

"[These] seven tracks manage to evoke the band's vintage-'80s vibe — sing-along choruses, bar-band brawn, wry humor with the occasional melancholic twist, and Lewis' familiar rasp — while maintaining a contemporary verve...The heart of rock & roll is still beating in the 69-year-old singer-songwriter."

-Entertainment Weekly

"['Her Love Is Killin' Me'] a harmonica-topped, gritty-voiced, good-natured boogie that has Huey Lewis & The News sounding like absolutely nothing has changed since the mid-1980s"

 -The New York Times

"['Her Love Is Killin' Me'] delightfully reminiscent of Huey Lewis and the News' Eighties heyday, with crisp drums and bass buoying organ, guitar and a punchy horn section."

-Rolling Stone

"Meticulous pop-rock, with the smoothest harmonies this side of the Beach Boys"

-Esquire
