"This music opened up the world to me in a new way. Someone played it for me when I was 18. Not just a new world of sound and timbre, but a new world of life experience - meeting new and different people, artists, dreamers…"  Reply

"In my eyes, Sam Cooke is the greatest male singer of the 20th century. He had more soul than anyone I've ever heard, and this album bears no exception to that gift."  Reply

"Wilson's best solo record. It's all very nice and competent, and a little too sweet at times, but, Love and mercy, is a great opening track. A good if not great album."  Reply

"A nice companion piece for any bed room with a big union jack and collection of CDs from the rule britania times. You love Blur and Supergrass? Then you are in for a treat."  Reply

Interesting."  Reply

"I discovered this album while doing research into Dylan covers ~ the way MMEB take Dylan's shortest song (under 1m 30s) and turn it into a 9m 55s classic is a masterpiece. I have added this version of the song onto my 'top 100 Dylan covers' chart."  Reply
