A storyteller...

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This is not an album for lovers of pre-digested three-minute musical candyfloss. Bruce Guthro tells stories, inspired by people he knows, overheard fragments and the life he sees around him. And he does it beautifully - with a deceptively simple-sounding vocal line over a complex, shifting backdrop of evocative guitar picking and fiddle (supplied by Natalie MacMaster), piano, mandolin, dulcimer, penny whistle... One day, he will get the recognition he deserves as a major songwriter - and you can hear it here, first. (Unless you managed to get hold of a copy of his debut, 'Sails to the Wind', in which case you already know.)"
