Reviews: '...time for something quiet and reflective, in this case, Tiny Chair the first album by Wolverton. Featuring the songs, guitar and voice of Hills Snyder, with occasional help, although there is now a band built around the name, the songs are personal and humorous, having a gentle country lilt, barbed wit and sweet melodies, creating a collection of tunes that catch the ear, with The Sissy's Lament and Chessman being personal favourites.' -Simon Lewis, Ptolemaic Terrascope (March 1, 2013) 'Wolverton's got some potent, quiet music, and the recordings make you feel like they're right there, reckoning the quirks of our heritage right alongside them. What it leaves out is as important as what it throws together but is gloriously free of twang or self-conscious neo-traditionalism. Contemplative, affectionate, warm and gently flawed, it's roots music sans self-importance, and Hills Snyder's songwriting is witty and doleful and full of unexpected touches; as in 'Guts,' a small song that sounds like deeply personal footnotes to the human epic. You know how in 'Tangled Up In Blue,' you can't tell whether the time frame is 19th century or Now? Kinda like that.' Sarah Fisch, Glasstire (July 18, 2012)
