"It would be easy to dismiss them merely as decent inheritors of a well-trodden vocal tradition ... The difference is the material. Specifically the excellent songwriting of Sean Cooney, and this collection surely marks his arrival as one of the very best of the modern day. Real songs about real people in real situations ... "A homage to the outsider; a eulogy for the wayfarer; a hymn for the migrant" declares the sub-title and, with joyous harmonies and Cooney's lyrical detail, each track sounds like an enticing vignette of a blockbuster movie ... At different times poignant, provocative, funny, beautiful and celebratory, this fourth studio album should finally bury the illusion that great live groups can never successfully transfer their unique strengths from stage to studio".
