“Jan Garrett and JD Martin have created yet another beautiful album that has thrown me into “gushmatic overdrive.” No Complaints Whatsoever is a spectacularly creative collection of heartsongs, inspired life lessons sung with ease and joy, reminding me again that every day is a gift…..”

What bright souls! As with all your CDs, the songs on “No Complaints Whatsoever” lift us, your voices delight us, and your musicality thrills us. We could go on and on about the details of how fine the lyrics, the playing, and the way they move us. Let us just say that we play the CD in the kitchen and it makes the food delicious.”

“Jan & JD, I’m writing to celebrate your gorgeous success on the release of “No Complaints Whatsoever.” I feel privileged to have been there while this extraordinarily tasteful album was being born, and it has turned out to be even more powerful, deep, fun, and delightfully goofy than expected. You did it again! I love the artwork too, which softens me into the music, nestling into nature. The bare feet are great, as is the secret laugh track in the end. Congratulations!”

Jan & JD, . I LOVE your new album, and I just want you both to know that your music is playing literally all the time in my head. Every time I get into a tough place where I’m feeling sad or discouraged, over and over again, words from your songs will come that will help me get through. Each time it’s a different song with a different message, it just blows my mind. THANK YOU so much for all that you do.

"I have always enjoyed Jan and JD's work, appreciating the craft and heart that they effortlessly convey through their music, their singing, and their outreach in the world. As a producer for JD's first record, "One Heart", I'm very picky when it comes to the treatments of extraordinary artists and gifted songs - and in particular these awesome artists and the transformational songs they create.

I can honestly say that their latest release, "No Complaints Whatsoever " is the best I have heard from them, and that it clearly is one of the few recordings that find a permanent place in my listening and in my life. I wish I could claim participation on it, but it's all on their pure heart, their extraordinary gifts, and their huge commitment to the reason music is so important to all of us. Just Listen." –
