june 16, 2007: "Crown Jewel" reviewed by Mark Schiltz- flagstaff AZ:
"Clean, crisp, and refreshing. Full of energy! Many guitar influences, but it's still original; it's Marshall Dabney!"
"Great music moves from within and his does exactly that for me. It stirs thoughts, feelings, and emotions,... which is what meaningful art should do."
"Fun, exciting, and a sense of wonder to what's coming."
and as for track no. 3 "You Better Run" . . .
"You better hold on! This shreds!!!"

March 2006: Work on the 'Crown Jewel' CD continues, with about 75% of the project tracked at this point.
After working with Marshall for the past nine months on the project, Nathan Reece had this to say:
-"Marshall is one of the most versatile musicians/composers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Each time I receive a new song from him I am blown away at how unique and different it is from the last. He has a great sense of chord structure and rhythmic complexity which give his projects a great deal of depth. His layered guitar work and vocal harmonies are a great compliment to one another."
Summer 2005: Marshall made 2 live appearances in May/June at the West Coast Thunder event at Skip Fordyce Harley Davidson.
Spring 2005: Marshall has begun the task of putting his next CD together and already has a song list together. The title track is called 'Crown Jewel.' He also lucked into an acquaintance with a talented local drummer ( Nathan Reece ) who is working closely with him on the project.
