Don Ignacio’s Music Reviews
“Your Song,” you would know what I’m talking about when I say it starts out as “It’s a little bit funny…” Some people seem to carry a sort of grudge against it, either saying the music is schmaltzy or dumping on Bernie Taupin’s love lyrics. These people are nuts, of course…. […]

Uncut
“No Shoe Strings On Louise”, an enthusiastic C&W lollop, grasps for the language of an imagined time, as if British dramatists had turned their hand to writing an episode of The Little House On The Prairie. Yet their narrative structures seem believable. Aretha Franklin would hardly have covered “Border Song” if she’d sensed any phoniness. […]

Wilson & Alroy’s Record Reviews
But it’s entirely enjoyable, with enthusiastic vocals; superficially intriguing (First Episode At Hienton), albeit annoying (The Greatest Discovery) lyrics;…. By any measure, this a must-have. […]
