"I'm particularly delighted with the title track which manages to say so much in a subtle and non-preachy way" Mike Harding, Mike Harding Folk Show

"What makes England Green & England Grey such an interesting album is the way Meuross blends hope and sorrow. There is optimism and pride about England's sweeter things (such as the music of Cecil Sharp), and anger and laments over modern-day corruption, inequality and greed (the MPs expenses scandal gets a mention)." Martin Chilton, Telegraph

"It has been said that Reg Meuross is one of England's finest songwriters who deserves wider exposure. I have to agree." John Knighton FATEA magazine

"For many, the songs of Reg Meuross are the hinges upon which swing the doors of perceptive English folk…Meuross doesn’t simply write songs raging against the powers that be, he doesn’t adopt injured political ire or preach pointless platitudes. He recalls sacrifice forgotten, rights lost, the rule of injustice, personal pain and resolute hope. And if we don’t listen, the erosion might continue unabated. Aside from being a stunning album, ‘England Green & England Grey’ prompts us to save what’s going before it’s gone forever." Tim Carroll, FolkWords

"In the title track, England Green and England Grey, I think that there shimmers the mind-set that we need to regain in our political life as a nation: one of reflection, of a better understanding of our own history and a greater respect for our landscape. Very clearly, but with vocals that wave over you like falling silk, Reg Meuross effectively argues not only for socialism, but for a political system where dignity is held dear and considered precious, in which we acknowledge the sacrifices made by others in the name of justice, in which the government and the people share resources as a society, and in which we live, not just on the Earth, but with it. And that makes a far more appealing and convincing political manifesto than anything I saw in Westminster at election time." Tamsin Rosewell, Radio Warwickshire
