This is a slow and ponderous album. The songs seem to ooze out of the speakers, or the headphones, towards you. It is as though they are warming to you and welcoming you towards someone or something. Let us just lie back with a wee glass of Jack Daniels or Bourbon and enjoy the sounds. Songs such as ‘Ballad Of The Mining Company’ are lazily twanged into life by guitar and sweetened by the coarse, warm and rasping vocals of Michael Gallagher. He sings sweet, short and simple truths about life love and regret. This is a voice of depth and experience. These songs have certainly been long thought over, as one tune blends, seamlessly, into another.
