"John and Phil could hardly have been a bundle of fun during these sessions but what a fantastic set of soulful, sad tunes they produced. So much emotion, especially Hurt In Your Heart & Baby Please Come Home. Don't put this on if you've just blown a meaningful relationship...or on second thoughts..." [+] Reply
"Great EP. "About Today," and "Wasp Nest" are both underrated gems." Reply
