biographical info
"Jerry Leger is one of the best songwriters I've heard in quite some time." - Ron Sexsmith
"Farewell Ghost Town" reviews:
The songs are tuneful, accessible and direct.. Bar-room blues, lonesome ballads and barn-rockin' stompers all coexist in an album that's charming not only for its strong songwriting, but also in its unassuming approach." - Pras Rajagopalan, Chart Magazine/Chart Attack, Toronto, Canada
"There's something about Leger that makes it all seem effortless.....With lots of good acts coming out of North America nowadays, here's another to add to the collection." - Russell Barker, UK Press, United Kingdom
"He's managed to revive the appealing elements of Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello that were surely disappearing....Leger delivers folk rock in an old fashioned, albeit not dated style." - Andrew Seale, Spill Magazine, Toronto, Canada
"Brilliant!......a very rare songwriter." 4.5(out of 5) - Francois Braeken, Rootstime, Belgium
"..their sophomore effort pushes Leger into the forefront as one of Toronto's best emerging songwriters." - Adam Miller, Being There Magazine, St. Catherine's, Canada
