Description:
"(Four Stars) On his fourth solo outing, ex-Freewheelers frontman Russell sings in a fallen choirboys tenor redolent of misspent youth, lessons learned and a stoic acceptance of loss -- like Alex Chilton on one of his least cynical days. Songs with Beatlesque surfaces and dark interiors trace the well-worn path from self-inflicted and romantic pain to hard-earned redemption, but Russells puppy-dog genuineness and the empathetically understated playing and production of Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne, Kings Of Leon), keep things righteously real throughout... " -- Bud Scoppa, Uncut (Adrenaline Music)
