“It's possible, even probable that any time you see Gilbert in person his songs will make you laugh and cry simultaneously.”

— Ft. Worth Star-Telegram

“Gilbert's burnished voice poured over one purling, liquid melody after another, over an accompaniment of tender arpeggios and supple chord progressions.”

— The Chicago Tribune

“He does not duck hard truths and never succumbs to the temptation to tie his points up in neat platitudes or truisms.”

— The Boston Globe

“His lyrics are highly personal, his tenor vocals fluid and enthralling”

— DIRTY LINEN
