Folk Roots March 1996 A sharply rhythmic guitar picker, accompanied by Gerry Conway on percussion and occasionally by Jacqui McShee on vocals, he half sings, half speaks a stream of intelligent, well observed and witty lyrics. That rare thing, a singer-songwriter without a trace of meandering self-absorption or lecturing.
