"Atlas (Riverwide): A-
Introspective, melodic folk-pop simply doesn’t get much finer
than the new CD by Newburyport’s Levine. Producer-engineer
Tom Eaton, creates a masterfully arranged setting for Levine’s
accessible poetry, and local aces such as Sean Staples,
Duke Levine and Richard Gates provide unfussy but elegant backup.
This is that rare album where a whole mind and heart is revealed.

11/16/07 Boston Herald review of the first Riverwide Records
release, Susan Levine's Atlas

"a first-rate producer"
from a 2002 review in jam music magazine

"one of the hotspots that has cemented the region’s reputation
as a songwriter’s mecca"
from a studio feature in the wire, nh

"one of the ten best studios in the country for under $100/hour"
2004 round-up in performing songwriter magazine

"anybody can hang mikes. Anyone can buy good equipment.
but I’ve done 5 albums here for far greater reasons than that.
I’ll do my next 5 here, too."
vance gilbert, one half of a two-man tambourine

"tom approaches engineering like a musician because he is a musician,
not to mention an excellent producer and one hell of an engineer.
But perhaps what’s best about working with tom is that he hears what
you hear in your head – only he hears it a lot clearer and
knows how to record it."
rob laurens (who was paid in edamame for his comments)

"as both producer and engineer, tom pays exacting attention to the
smallest detail while always keeping the big picture in mind. He not
only has access to some of the best musicians in new england, but is
a musician himself and brings his musicality and technical expertise
to the table at every session."

"tom gets amazing sounds because he really is amazing. He is so good
at what at he does and so unassuming about it. he's got incredible
mastery over all his tools, but also fantastic ideas and strategies.
He's a joy to work with."
kristen miller, cello miracle worker

"it's hard to articulate how much you are able to add to our CD production.
you were a pleasure to work with and the final result exceeded our expectations.
you are a real pro."
robin warren and brian clancy, spirit fiddle

"you have such great ears. And such great tools and such a command of them!."
from an e-mail from joyce andersen

"i can't thank you enough for all you done for me on "secrets and stories."
i learned so much from you and am so pleased with the final product."
