Jumbo Records
“Terrific stuff, with a masterly approach to traditional songs.”
Froots Magazine, Dec 08



“Quality American sounding folk which is very uplifting and honest sounding. I like this a lot. Smashing.”
Norman Records
“Rossiter has clearly been inspired by the likes of John Fahey and Martin Carthy to put it together, although he's done so with such great skill that in the process he reveals himself as an artist of considerable talent in his own right.”
Sandman Magazine
“With the likes of Seth Lakeman bringing traditional folk styles back into the public eye, there's definitely a lot of interest in this style of music and Rossiter, who recently played alongside Nina Nastasia, is poised to take his turn in the spotlight.”
Subba Cultcha
“In better news, the best local record we've heard this fortnight is Michael Rossiter's My Dearest Dear (Folk Theatre). It's a stunning collection of traditional folk songs, with a few of his own compositions thrown in. Rossiter's knowledge and ability to revitalise ancient songs with fresh arrangements is nought short of wonderful.”
The Leeds Guide
"He has every chance of dragging the genre kicking and screaming to a whole new generation of fans."
