The telegraphd. 23. July 2014ByByMartin Chiltond. 23. July 2014"The album is full of interesting guitar flourishes and rhythms which bring an imaginative touch to classics such as as Beeswing and 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. Down Where the Drunkards Roll sounds even more mournful in the hands of a wise old bird of 65. If (oh dear) you haven't got a Richard Thompson album in your collection, then this is a great way to get to know a truly inspired songwriter. But even if you know his work inside out, then you will still find much to enjoy listening to a master re-touch some of his best works".Read review
fRoots2014 Aug/SeptByByColin Irwin2014 Aug/Sept"A series of wonderfully realised, graphic, cinematic songs by the man peerlessly accompanied on the acoustic guitar. And while you occasionally wistfully yearn for the voice of Linda Thompson or a blast of his sizzling electric guitar or the fiery rhythms that may have characterised the originals, this album is a seductive alternative and may even serve as a convincing introduction to new listeners"".
