Reviews:

'Truly a diamond in the rough'
- That's China Monthly, China (03/2014)

'High calibre sentiment and expression...a combination of carefully crafted songs with lasting melodies, faultless lyrics, richly delivery vocals and a masterful touch on guitar...words that cut like knives, phrases filled with pathos and stories to make you feel at one with the powerful images the songs evoke.' - FolkWords, UK (04/2014)

'...A very distinct sound, as if you can read the room with some kind of perceptible braille...i'm not going to give this album a number out of ten, as it's worth more than that'
- That's China Monthly, China (05/2014)
