 Review by Gary Hill

This set will definitely not be for everyone. If you like things like Tom Waits, you might find a kinship to this. The music here lands at times closer to folk music, while at other points it gets more psychedelic. It's always lo-fi in terms of production. If you demand some kind of serious polish, you probably will want to look elsewhere. That's not the point of this. There is an genuine immediacy here. It brings a sense of an artist creating straight from his heart. That's the key.
