The Times Union ‘s Greg Haymes says: “Ever wonder what it would sound like if you could fuse together the boho folk of Joni Mitchell and the renegade funk of Prince? Well, maybe not. But Albany singer-songwriter Bryan Thomas certainly has, and on his hot new six-song cassette, Wafers & Wine , the result is mesmerizing. I haven’t taken his home-brewed tape out of my cassette player since I got it, and whether it’s Thomas’ own tunes (including two versions of ‘Apt. D’ and a rendition of ‘Disconnect’ recorded live on WAMC-FM) or an epic interpretation of Mitchell’s ‘Black Crow,” Thomas does it all right. ”
