Four out of five stars. Cole introduces Leven as “the nearest thing to Johnny Cash that Britain will ever have”; the album offers no surprises, Leven has found his formula of dark, rough-hewn folk. Highlighted are “Dent in the Fender and the Wheel of Fate”, “My Old Home” and “Woman in a Car”; the American influences enrich the album.
Summary in our own words; for the exact wording see the original.
Jackie Leven is the closest the UK is ever likely to get to Johnny Cash
