About time

"Deliberately evocative of their summer busking days as "two Croydon boys who only ever wanted to be Woody Guthrie or Jack Kerouac", this is an album that harks back to their shared roots. "Honey Babe Blues" is one of several tracks that features the high-impact sound of two flat-picked guitars, Ralph's harmonica and two voices - with Wizz taking the high part under Ralph's lead - a combination worked to spellbinding effect on Guthrie's "Deportees (Plane Wreck At Los Gatos). Both men are in fine voice throughout, with Ralph excelling on a "You're Gonna Quit Me Baby" that knocks the Dylan version into a cocked-hat, and Wizz delivering an affectingly wistful "I Never Did Sing You A Love Song" ... A record born out of lifelong friendship and mutual admiration".
