'He's an accomplished guitarist wth an ear for the dramatic,
his elecrified country-blues
lines and slide guitar accompanied here by skeletal percussion
that sounds like
manacles rattling vainly.His vocals veer from 1950's crooner
to 1960's rocker -
he's like Richard Hawley's accursed brother'
THE INDEPENDENT ****
'It's a uniformally impressive collection in fact, but the
standout
here is easily the multifaceted tittle track, which unfurls
over 6
minutes from graveyard acoustic strum into an epic murder
ballad that
Nick Cave would be proud to call his own'
8/10 SUBBA-CULTCHA
'Think Bon Iver 'For Emma Forever Ago' as reimagined by a
heartbroken
Rock and Roll desperado in 1958'
