Dirty Linen (4-5/99, p.55) - "...The music is by turns gently soothing and unassumingly insistent....[it] adds up to a work of quietly building beauty and reminders of nature's splendor, as well as our place within it."
Mojo (Publisher) (2/99, p.96) - "...So how does one follow a career best? To a great extent, Gaughan repeats the formula in both production...and choice of material..."

Gaughan's weathered brogue is enough to make a song memorable. But he also has a knack for gathering fine songs, both originals and covers, that fit beautifully into his style. On this set, Gaughan opens with an understated but powerful "Muir and the Master Builder" by Brian McNeill and even plies his magic with Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho and Lefty." As he wends his way through a sublime take on Pete Seeger's "Turn, Turn, Turn," it becomes clear that Gaughan has a gift for phrasing that puts the listener at ease. ~ Tim Sheridan
