"Whenever you hear or read about The Coming Grass, you'll come across Ken Coomer's name. Herewith that's a fact already..Wilco-drummer Coomer may be the one behind the drumkit here, it's mainly the other part of the group that's stealing the show. Sara Cox, for instance, who's been singing herself deep into our hearts with the gorgeous countryrock song, "Firewater". And Nate Schrock who's demonstrating his excellent vocal skills too in the equally wonderful "Stowaway". The Coming Grass are one part Wilco, one part Replacements and a shot of Lucinda to spice things up. The result of the mix up of these ingredients can be tasted on "Transient": an infectious cocktail of Americana, rootspop and guitar rock. Songs like the above-mentioned "Firewater", "Fix your own Cup of Tea" or "Vacancy Sign" have surely left their traces around here...Strong effort!"
