"The most underrated album of all time. The ten songs are some of the most impassioned of any I've ever heard. Key Tracks: Wishing Well, Something New, and of course, Sometime Around Midnight"  Reply

"Some lovely moments on this album from the whimsical 'Moving the Goalposts' to the heart-felt 'Tank Park Salute' Billy proves he is more than a political activist and charms the listener with his well crafted songs."  Reply

"A solid live album. Mostly made up of tracks from Lost in the Dream and A Deeper Understanding. What makes this such a unique listen is the excellent production.
