REVIEWS
"Genteel harmonies and quiescent aural
landscapes/reminiscent of Art Garfunkel during his
"Bright Eyes" days/the absolute beauty of a handful of
the dozen self-penned songs/Nick Drake would surely
smile at the irony of a revival of such delicacy in
the maw of the tiger/but McGlynn's strongest hand is
the sophistication in his writing particularly on "In Your Eyes", with
its Cole Porter romance" Hot Press Magazine
"The instrumentation in particular is outstanding and
McGlynn possesses a voice that does justice to lyrics
that are clearly personal" In Dublin Magazine
"He sings with a clear and very beautiful voice, not
far from Art Garfunkel." Gothenburg Post, Sweden (Live)
