HMV Review

Spin (3/94, p.79) - "...the deep moan of the title track proves [Harper] can nail down a blue note with authroity...Never mind the obvious potential--Harper's moral fire makes him worth hearing right now..."
Q Magazine (10/94, p.116) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...hugely impressive example of modern acoustic folk blues, a mix that might easily be unique...A natural talent and a quiet lovely record..."
Dirty Linen (6-7/94, p.51) - "...remarkable maturity....It's the most striking debut since Tracy Chapman's..."
