Life Goes On: 

"A beguiling approach that nods towards Austin ... in  its relaxed storytelling.   This album will make you smile " Scotland on Sunday 2005

"The strength of this record is the atmosphere that is created - like well turned wood there is attention to the craft ...  Imagine winter, hunched up by the fire, wind howling - this’d keep you warm."  Americana UK
