SING OUT! REVIEWS LUV SONGS FOR GROWNUPS: Love songs are hard to write 'cause, shoot, with billions of them already out there how can you do it without relying on sappy moon/June lyrics? Let The Dreamsicles show you how. From the thoughtful ballad "Survivor" to lighter material like "Unless You Take Yes for an Answer," this pop-folk-funk duo has it all sewed up, baby, and damn is it fine. Cary Cooper and Tom Prasada-Rao wrote 11 of the songs, plus included a great cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" like it was meant to be sung - with conviction by two people who love each other. They're like an acoustic Earth, Wind and Fire.
The Dreamsicles get serious on their second CD Luv Songs for Grown Ups – an earthy collection quirky songs from award winning singer-songwriters Cary Cooper & Tom Prasada-Rao, which charted at #4 on Folk DJ in 2005. Standout tracks include The Quadrilogy – 4 songs written back to back that have become a highlight of The Dreamsicles shows. Produced by Tom Prasada-Rao, mixed and co-produced by Chris Rosser & Cary Cooper, and featuring Gina Forsyth, Jon Rivers, Freebo, Laura Cerulli, Jeff Berkley, Christopher Williams, and Rob Mulligan.
