Press Clippings Regarding Renovation:

"There are enough subtle twists and turns in the songwriting to keep things interesting, and there's never a feeling of reaching or stridency, or artifice. He's genuine, without the smarmy cartoonish sincerity that seems mandatory in typical Nashville fare. Not only that, the lively arrangements and tight performances of the Hired Guns give the songs a sort of easy, organic inevitability. . . .  If you like folk music and roots music, you owe it to yourself to check him out. Morey's music is made fresh locally in small batches, and it doesn't get any better than that."
Little Village (Iowa City)

"With Morey surrounded by some of the most talented musicians the area has to offer, the songs take on a richness and depth that make [his] discs a great place to find simple, honest songs that subtly engage the ear...These songs feel like standards."
The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)

"An eclectic mix of songs ranging in sound from the soft-spoken, soulful James Taylor to the rockabilly riffs of Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps."
Iowa City Press-Citizen

"Loose and playful."
Des Moines Register

Press Clippings Regarding This Time:

"Morey has a clean, clear voice reminiscent of James Taylor, and some of the songs [on This Time] have a similar, Taylor-esque feel. But elsewhere, on more uptempo tracks, Morey puts more grit into his delivery, lending the tunes a more bluesy feel. The result is a solid, consistent batch of tunes."
Iowa City Gazette

"Morey-with a little help from his friends-has produced a Midwestern story-book. This Time is a collection of earthy songs with scenic undertones and sharp descriptions of daily life."
Cityview (Des Moines)

"[This Time] is a great sounding disc with fine contributions by all hands. . . . The singer injects the tunes with emotional commitment and palpable sensitivity."
Iowa City Press Citizen

Press Clippings Regarding From the Ground Up:

"If you like a little human feeling with your wry stories and heartland strumming, we direct your attention to From the Ground Up, the new CD from Brother's Keeper. David and Robert Morey are St. Louisans transplanted to Iowa City, where they've honed their twin-acoustic jangle and seamless harmonies in the college-town coffeehouses. The usual pieties of the folk genre are gently skewered in such tunes as "Wrong Cliché" and "The Blues Up and Left," although elsewhere on the CD you'll hear earnest echoes of such acoustic stalwarts as Harry Chapin, James Taylor, and even Tracy Chapman."
St. Louis Post Dispatch

"Their voices blend together so smoothly."
Iowa City Press Citizen

"A couple of budding James Taylors."
Des Moines Register

"A quintessential coffeehouse duo, the brothers Morey have fashioned a delicate stylistic bridge that spans the collegiate 'folk revival' of the early 60s (the Kingston Trio, the Chad Mitchell Trio, Chad & Jeremy, et al.) and late 60s/early 70s singer/songwriter duos à la Simon & Garfunkel and Seals & Crofts. From the Ground Up is a quietly sedate, rainy-afternoon/late-night comforter."
Icon (Iowa City)

"They harmonize well together, and their timing is great. A fine addition to my rush hour stress-combating music arsenal."
Cake (Minneapolis)

"Iowa City duo Brother's Keeper knows how to wind voices together and brush them up with guitar."
Cityview (Des Moines)
