"The Ghost We Keep is the work of a songwriter who has been quietly building toward something this good for over a decade. Rich Allen writes from the Jersey Shore tradition of music that takes ordinary human experience seriously, pairs it with the patience that Tampa waterfront life seems to have given him, and produces folk music that is both deeply personal and completely universal. The ISSA International Singer-Songwriters Association and ICMA InterContinental Music Awards recognition is not industry noise. It is the sound of a community recognizing something genuine. For anyone who values songs that respect both the craft and the listener, this one belongs in your collection" - Music on the Rox
