INDEPENDENT REVIEWS
1. "TRAD & NOW" magazine, review by John Munro
'TRAD & NOW' is Australia's premium monthly folk print magazine and online store.
" I hope these two continue to make music together as the strength of this collaboration is apparent in imagery of the lyrics and the accomplished guitar accompaniments. Stand out tracks for me? 'Home Is Where the Heart Is' and 'Seasons'. "
<2. UNISONG's Album Feedback/Critique
The Unisong International Songwriting Contest is the oldest international songwriting competition for, and judged by, songwriters. All the songs on the album were submitted to the contest. The tracks were separated and sent to several different judges. Without exception they stated that the tracks were NOT commercial material but otherwise they provided a lot of complimentary feedback. Some of their undedited written comments are as follows:
>> Very 'James Taylor'; >> beautiful; >> poetic lyrics; >> fresh structure; >> mmm, mmm, Good!; >> gorgeous folk melodies; >> structured perfectly; >> very cool song!; >> clever cute song; >> music is lovely; >> lyric is fantastic; >> like a movie – I see it, I feel it, I’m there; >> one of my favourites I’ve been listening to; >> this lyric is FANTASTIC; >> strange fascinating song; >> very intriguing song; >> fresh and unusual musical moves; >> intriguing and unusual chord changes; >> rich chord inventions; >> lovely lyric peppered with very colorful lines and phrases; >> exquisite for the style; >> beautifully structured; >> hard to top the lyric; >> a curiously wonderful song; >> I really liked it; >> such good lines; >> I thought it was wonderful; >> I’ve enjoyed listening to your songs; >> beautiful melodies.
