"Intensely sensitive and impressively intelligent at the same time."
BILLBOARD MAGAZINE (1998)
“Essential for fans of sensitive acoustic music.”
BILLBOARD MAGAZINE (2000)
“Gellman has sort of a John Denver-ish voice in the way he hangs on to a note and floats the vibrato and carries the sentiment of his lyrics.”
MUSIC MONTHLY
"Gellman's sensitive songcraft incorporates simple but evocative slice-of-life imagery, homespun folk warmth, keen pop instincts, and crisp, first-rate musicianship. Part poetic reflection, part chicken soup for the ears... his soft tenor radiates with a choirboy's pristine poise, yet authentically conveys the depth of his themes."
