The Great Park 'We Could Have, We Should Have, We Didn't'

"...a beautiful thing and unique in many ways. In fact given the circumstances around
its recording it is a miracle it got made at all; the fact that it is so raw and honest and
downright excellent is all the more remarkable."
Southcoasting blog

"...this is a journey, a misadventurer's odyssey; it's vivid, it's elemental
and the wounds are exposed. The road is pitted and merciless, stark
and unyielding. The engrossing imagery will draw you in and repeated
listening reveals new musical and lyrical nuances."

Nigel Johnson

and appearances from Birdengine, Mid-west Blues, Clara Kindle,
Kristin McClement and The Steam Age.
