“Is Heaven Real? How Would I Know? is sprinkled with surprises both lyrical and musical, an album that bites with mordant good humor and cuts with boxcutter-sharp wit, all the while swinging with Memphis soul.”
- John Schumacher,The Amp
“The performances really shine on this record too, it’s one of those albums where the band has really found their groove and could just roll on and on.”
- Any Brown, Louder Than War
“Dowd’s new album (homemade right down to the cover art) has everything a fan could want.”
- Sylvie Simmons, Mojo
“If you’re a fan you will most likely already have bought this or at least will when you get paid at the end of the month.
If you’re new to the works of Mr Dowd you are in for an absolute treat …. trust me.”
- Alan Harrison, The Rocking Magpie
