| "..The CD features strong lyrics, Ken's excellent throaty vocals, a traditional guitar based folk backing and the excellent violins of John Matthias…" |  |
|
"Ken Cotter's writing has a sense of maturity and assuredness about it. The influence of Cork man Jimmy MacCarthy is evident, but Cotter has an obvious originality and creative flair, combined with the confidence and maturity that one achieves after playing many gigs…" |
