"Cattywompus delivers stirring songs with sentimental touches and a brazen rock attitude. I hear a bit of Gram Parsons and whole lot of spunk throughout the album. There's an element of tenderness that these cowboys exhibit." - Smother.net

"Rarely does a disc come in the mail that has more great tracks than not-so-great tracks but Gospel Hyms & Original Sins is Black Crowes meets Small Faces meets Waylon Jennings meets Tom Petty meets Gram Parsons meets Cosmic American Music." - Cosmic American Radio

The album serves as a living memorial to the man who inspired the band from a young age, Kevin Webber: witch doctor, wild man, mentor, the bands percussionist, music enthusiast and father to John & James Webber; drummer and bassist respectively.

Cattywompus is a band dedicated to American Roots music. As diverse as America itself, so is the band's musical heritage.
