In The Mix, March 1998 review, entire text:

I woke up this morning with a chorus running through my head: "Hang with me, stay with me, don't you ever fade away from me, baby," from The Good's song, "Hang," kept running through the space between my ears. It's still there!

If I look down at the lyric sheet next to me, I can invoke the sounds of the Beatle-esque "Tinky McVieux," or the running pun, "Ten Years After," but nothing will wipe "...hang with me..." from my mind. This is a good thing?

Well, to quote the tiger, "... they're Grrrreat!"

The lyrics for Milky White by vocalist/guitar player Tony Rogers and vocalist/harmonica/fiddler (the very screechy kind) Devin Arkin are the kinds of catchy, inspired, infectious lines that have not crossed my ears in quite a while. Crashing modern media into classic literature, they have produced a lush soundscape of odd thoughts that translate into purely wonderful music.

Accompanied by John Scholvin on guitar and vocals, Ryan Olbrysh on bass and some vocals, and John Goodman on drums, Rogers and Arkin perform a plethora of pop songs with a twist. The instrumentals span the history of rock from the Beatles through Rush and the Bo Deans with a dash of Queen, a hint of Zappa (just for humor), and a thin spread of Pearl Jam. If, by this time, you have no idea what The Good sound like, I could just say that they are unique and you still wouldn't know. At least I've managed to list some of the ingredients and probably not listed near enough. You decide.

I would like to mention that they don't draw any references from the most holy prophet Mohommed, but they cover just about everyone else.
