"The boys are at their best when they fire up the rock n' roll - River's 
Rising and Euphoria are my favs.  I like the polyethnic cajun slamgrass 
but the fun begins when Drew wails in his reserved but unabashed 
fashion.  I think this album is really clean sounding and much better 
production-wise than Bert.  However, I reserve comment until I get home 
and listen to it a couple hundred times at full volume.  If the boys are 
reading, you guys really outdid yourselves with this one.  The cover art 
is spectacular - I'm really diggin Mama Boulet on the foldout - in fact, 
if you tossed in a salmon in that panel it would make a great cover.  A 
most excellent listening experience."  <anthony.howell@srz.com>

"If you liked the New Grass Revival, you will *love* Leftover Salmon...

It will soon be easy to "ask the fish."  "The fish will see you now" 
because the fish will be everywhere.  Floods are like that.  Salmonytes, 
hold on to each other tight.  We have stepped into it deep as of today.  
There will be no other song that will capture the American imagination 
in 1997 better than "The River's Rising."  The right song at the right 
time is the calm way to say it.  That song is going straight to the 
%^&*$#@*ing radio TOP, and fast, is another way to say it.

da Flower Punk sez:  OH MY GOODNESS!  :-)  Holy S__t! What's coming 
next?  How fast will this grow?  How big is it going to get? What will 
this all mean? - is what I think about it.  The levee has just broken, 
folks, though it may not be flooding where you are yet.  Get yer rubber 
dancing shoes out...  :-)  keep your powder dry."

"Just picked up the Euphoria CD this morning.  It's been in my car CD 
player all day.  And it sounds great!!!!!"  <goheels@mindspring.com>

[The following one is especially significant.  It was posted to both 
rec.music.phish and rec.music.gdead, two of the most widely read music 
discussion groups on Internet.]

"GET THE NEW LEFTOVER SALMON DISC!!:  It is fabulous. The first 
studio album with the current (and best ) LoS lineup. This is their 
first national release and it is a damn good one. Sam Bush jams with 
them on one of the tracks."  <brad@dimensional.com>

"the album itself is great i really like Highway Song and Ain't Gonna 
Work."  <reid.s.brecher@vanderbilt.edu>

"I got it!  Yes, I ended up exploring good 'ole Virginia Beach a bit 
more than planned, but it was well worth it.  Got to Planet Music, and 
there were 3 of the 5 copies left that they said they were gonna have.  
I looked around, and lo and behold, there's Bridges to Bert and Ask the 
Fish.  Seeing as how I'm seriously lacking in the digitized Salmon, I 
snagged all 3!  Euphoria sounds great!  It definitely lacks the live 
punch, but the songs come across nicely.  I think the CD makes them 
sound a lot more mellow."  <lgtsotr@earthlink.net>

"PS- I love the new 'Euphoria' CD"  <smang@concentric.net>

"Reaction to the album?  A little different than what I expected but 
very cool."  <barett@erols.com>

"It is readily available in Boulder at several outlets. BTW, Albums on 
The Hill (across from the Fox Theater) had a midnight sale on tuesday 
morning and according to a friend who was there about 50 people waiting 
outside for the o fish al opening to scoop up copies.  So far, it seems, 
the LoSers love it!  The radio is the next frontier."

"Hi Everyone!  Well, you may or may not have read my post about the 
trouble I was having finding Euphoria here in Vermont.  Well, I had to 
go to Boston this weekend for a family visit, and I (of course) ran to 
all the local music stores to find 3 (yes 3) copies of Euphoria (for me, 
a friend, and my little brother who is living in Shanghi and doesn't 
even know the new CD is out yet!).  Yes, I managed to track down three 
copies - although it took two different stores. So, now I have the CD 
and it is *incredible* - now I know what all the Mama Boulet discussion 
was about....FWIW it sounds like "Risoree" to me too!  The icing on the 
cake, and what makes this a truly happy ending to my story, is that at 
HMV, along with Euphoria, I also found a Tony Trischka cd (A Robot Plane 
Flies Over Arkansas) for 6 bucks!  Woo hoo! Feeling like Marcie (that'd 
be "Euphoric").......... :-)"  <negev@sover.net>

"Just wanted to announce that I got my copy of Euphoria over the weekend 
and it has not left my CD player yet.  Top notch CD - I am sending my 
sister a copy for her B-day.  Great album - hope everyone is enjoying it 
as much as I."  <fscott@hubcap.clemson.edu>

"GET THE NEW LEFTOVER SALMON DISC!!: This is one of the best studio 
albums released by any band except for wsp in quite a while, probably my fav. 
since picture of nectar."  <papyrus75@aol.com>

"If I get any more Euphoric, I might fly away.  Seriously.  I've been 
listening to the Cd over and over again.  Softly, loudly, in different
order, whatever.  It's better than damn good.  I even got some ppl in my 
office heading down to C'ville for their 1st show.  Hehehehehe.  Another 
hook inserted."  <taz@nowhere.net>
