Toledo Blade review of The Other Side of Now, April 2004

THE OTHER SIDE OF NOW
Glinda's Bubble (Caged Bird Records)

The first release by Toledo band Glinda's Bubble is a sophisticate slice of mature folk-pop. The creative brainchild of Phyllis Dwyer, a talented singer/songwrier, the group also features Mark Amos on bass, Jon Dwyer - Phyllis' husband - on guitar, and their son Steve Dwyer on drums. Echoes of Fleetwood Mac, Fairport Convention, and even prog rockers Yes show up in the band's eclectic arrangements, which accent Phyllis Dwyer's intensely personal lyrics. Her voice is a soaring instrument and the band is capable of rocking out hard, or shifting into lower gear on the aptly tited "Soothing and Smoothing."
