"John Wilson's "As I Went Out One Morning (Dylan)" gives us a Hunteresque ballad of betrayal that invokes the English folk idiom. Shades of Jack-a-Roe with a dash of Terrapin. The guitar work is masterful & enthralling, and Wilson's delivery is distinctive, maybe Graham Parker meets late 70s Dylan? John also has 'Fishin Blues' that sounds like Ry Cooder on a banjo. " -- John Doherty, music reviewer.



"Delia" it's special. It reaches across all kinds of distances and nails something elemental and human. " -- Chris Desmond, composer, producer.
