Review for the album's release (released 12.09.2005, Cooking Vinyl/Indigo) under the title “Black Suit”. Ding describes Leven's voice, marked by life, and the stranglehold attack of the mid-eighties, then the album as a walk through Cash's last stations with vagabonds and the forgotten; recorded in Beirut during a Roma festival with musicians such as the percussionist Reza Almieri, the viola player Mixialis Kataxanis and Robert Fisher. The smooth polish occasionally gets in the way. Rating: 6/10 (reader average 7/10).
