"I
think you will love this CD from what must
be one of the best song writers in the
country."
- Bristol Rocks
"Honest, down to earth meaningful lyrics.
The world needs more music like this."
- Folk Blues and Beyond
“a blissfully original sound." - Lemonrock
“If it wasn’t for the excellent production
I’d believe that these tracks were
recorded on a portable tape in a mountain
forest in a single afternoon”- Dave Urwin,
Live Music Scene
“a master of inflection, a major
vocal+songwriting talent combination” -
Van Casey
“James Hollingsworth is UNIQUE and dare I
go out on a limb, I don't think he has an
equal”
- Eden of Albuquerque
“Hollingsworth paints canvas with his
songs, there is something almost visual
about them”
- FATEA Records
“Powerful performances, distinctive
songwriting, a prog-rock sensibility pared
down to the acoustic... and perfect
production. Brilliant!"
"He's an excellent and frenetic
fingerpicker reminiscent of John Fahey." -
Acoustic Music.
“His live vocals are better than many
artists' studio vocals." - www.rambles.net
The only comparison I can readily make, is
to the voice of Tim Buckley, and this is
something I do not suggest glibly." -
