  REVIEWS
  
  "'Daring, Multifaceted Rock Album' ...Tuohy's ease among various genres may be Cocoon's most newsworthy hook. But for me, as a listener, it was wonderful that the songs did cohere into a func- tional big picture. Similar multi-genre albums often turn into song salad, fraught with filler and sonic inconsistencies. But Bernini's production keeps the boat on an even keel. It sounds bright, but not gag-inducing or radio-glossy; it's warm enough to be human without stooping to the lo-fi feel that's currently in vogue." – Hartford Advocate
  
  
  "'Cocoon' showcases and confirms the artist in the musician/actor. I mention this because as I write this column, I've got 'Cocoon' playing. I have to stop writing more often than I'd like because his songs stop me in my tracks. One song, 'Monogamy,' surprises me with a hint of Reggae in its intro and then seamlessly moves into a smooth rock, accented with delicate strains of back-up singers.
  
  This CD features horns, guitars, and keyboards and tickles the imagination. Whether he breathes romance into 'Light My Heart' or gets down and dirty in 'Bourbon Street' with its distinct New Orle- ans sound and his transition from smooth to sudden gruff voice, one can't ignore the breadth of talent infused in this one musician." – Republican American
  
  
  "John Mayer may be the most famous Connecticut homeboy currently burning up the charts, but given a chance, Jeff Tuohy could easily heat up the competition.
  
  Tuohy knows all about sharp melodies and well-constructed songs. His new disc, 'Cocoon,' was recorded at Spirit House Studios in Northampton, Mass and his songwriting skills are aided by some of the finest musicians from that musically fertile area. Mitch Chakour adds some sturdy organ to the pop rock tune 'Crucify' while Mark Mulcahy, late of the legendary Connecticut band Miracle Legion, lends backing vocals to the ballad 'Slow Down, Isabella.'
  'Cocoon' is a multi-dimensional work, featuring everything from the horn-laden R&B grooves of 'I Am a Fool' to the funky Dixieland vibe of 'Bourbon Street.'
  
  But what Tuohy does best is craft infectious pop tunes like 'Train' and 'Real Love' that have melodic stay-in-your-brain choruses. Add to that a convincing vocal style and an honest approach to songwriting and Jeff Tuohy is a young artist worth keeping your eye on." -Hartford Courant
