Reviewer: CD Baby
Although it's impossible to avoid comparisons to Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen, this is by far one of the most impressive, most memorable of its sort to enter the doors of our warehouse. With a voice that growls and rumbles, coarse and rattling on the edges, the Darylectones album, "Sad Old Beautifulworld" traipses through the dark and dimly lit alleys, dive bars and even a sunny corner of a empty warehouse. But no matter how many colors and qualities the album wanders through, there is always a connecting quality, a distinctive, rusty, whiskey-toned substance that makes this album so noteworthy. - cdbaby
dark beauty - a real gem - don't miss this one!

Best album I've heard this year - a nice surprise. Powerful songs, maybe a bit on the dark side but with hopeful messages and a sometimes sly sense of humour. I'd compare it to Nick Cave or the Rick Rubin produced Johnny Cash albums - simple understated production and soulful playing. And the lyrics - wow. honest, brave, unique. can't wait till their next one. - cdbaby
...the music fell somewhere between a soulful blend of world rhythms and sensibilities from another time and place...... the sound was passionate and polished. - similkameen review

Bio
we met in another band, an acoustic blues band and became friends. the front man for that band went to jail for attempted murder, and that was the end of that, but we kept in touch over the intervening years and got together when the fates allowed. he moved back to the area and we started playing in earnest and here we are.
