I wish I was your mother. (Ian Hunter) / ("Everything that ever was.", 15th Anniversary Edition, 2005/2020)

"Long-running Indianapolis musician Tim Brickley worked on 'Everything' until he got it right. Opening track 'Reckless With Love' explodes as a modern descendant of Bruce Springsteen's 'Rosalita' and Tom Petty's 'American Girl', so that track can keep a listener occupied a long time before he or she moves on to the rest of the album. What follows is both cosmic and grounded, alternately poignant ('We Were High') and quite funny ('Without You I'm Just Screwed'). In terms of "heartland" rock, no Hoosier made it better than this in 2005." DAVID LINDQUIST, INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 2.2.2006.
