about

"As rewarding as the releases that preceded it, and perhaps the most conceptually rich as well. From the album and song titles, the instrument used, and the blood red cover art that envelops the record, the sense of conflict captured throughout Civil War Songs is a very distinct one." – Creaig Dunton/Brainwashed.com

"I’ll be honest here, I’d never heard a harmonica played in this way before. Decades slip by as First composes, within their matrices you can hear and even at times feel what he’s documenting…But when all is said and done, the dead cleared and the wounded safely muzzled by cotton bandages this sort of work may well have been what was played around the campfires."—Peter Marks/Santa Sangre Magazine
