"In short, Swift achieves things in roughly 20 minutes that today's balladeers haven't even begun to touch..." - Zack Adcock, POPMATTERS"Richard Swift's Collection, Vol. 1 is not for the naïve or successful. It is for the lonely, the weak, the unpublished novelist; it's for the signatures on bounced checks..." - Justin A. Stover, STOPSMILING"Earnestness may be Swift's stock in trade... this qualifies as emotional investment of the highest order." - Jon Caramanica, SPIN magazine
