"While Gartland's sound is clearly based in the blues, there are any number of other elements added in the mix - roots, Americana, and country among the most obvious ... his reputation as a superb harp player is well justified ... Mostly, Gartland shares an ability to express a deep well of emotion that's especially evident on the sublime title track. His vocals convey a rich tone and texture that's thick like molasses, with a richness and resonance that's striking throughout"
