Dancing About Architecture
“it’s well written, well produced and will suit a wide audience who want their music to be about more than dirty women or bad choices. There are some belting tunes on this album, title track ‘Gone, Long Gone’ is a song set to the road, played above some intricate guitar picking…”
Keys and Chords (Belgium)
“With 'Bad Omen' we go to the deep Delta, and the pedal steel inspired 'Kulaniapia Waltz' rightly gives us a lot of goose bumps. Great stuff!”
Maple Blues
“This album has almost as many grooves as Steve Dawson has guitars. From the opening track, "Dimes", reminiscent of Little Feat complete with a slippery horn arrangement and searing slide guitar to the solo, open- tuned acoustic guitar instrumental, Cicada Sanctuary, there is never a dull moment on this album.”
Liverpool Sound and Vision
“…tracks such as Bad Omen, I Just Get Lost, the exquisite melody of Kulaniapia Waltz, a superb reading of The Faces song Ooh La La, Time Has Made A Fool Out Of Me, Skeletons In A Car, the tremendous King Bennie Had His Shit Together, and the album title track of Gone, Long Gone all burst out of Steve Dawson’s superbly acute and musically adept mind.”
