Too long quote

I have copyright concerns about using so long a quote in the article so I moved it to talk: RJFJR (talk) 16:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Mark Deming, Allmusic, wrote of their second CD:

Despite reports to the contrary, alt-country is not dead in the Midwest, and Corndaddy is here to prove it. Corndaddy is a Michigan-based band who blend a country-influenced twang, a power pop band's love of hooks, and a rocker's passion for the backbeat on their second album, Better Days.

The band's greatest asset is the fleet-fingered lead guitar work of Kevin Brown, whose sharp, wiry lines sound like the work of a souped-up Roger McGuinn, especially on "Better Days" and "Rainbow on a Girl," while drummer Will Stewart and bassist Jerry Hancock make for a lean and emphatic rhythm section and Jud Branam's reedy vocals are a great fit for this material.

Both Brown and Branam are solid songwriters as well, who can comfortably embrace laid-back country-rock ("Delaware"), bluegrass-tinged folk ("Sparkle's Real"), Bakersfield-style twang ("Kansas City, Mississippi"), and neo-psychedelic pop ("Rainbow on a Girl") without losing touch with the band's musical personality. Fine stuff from a band who deserves wider exposure.
