[email protected] reviews from itunes:What a discovery! Jazz freak ***** 5 stars
'Sitting somewhere in that place inhabited by the music of John Martyn and Joni Mitchell, this is an album that craves to be listened to on many different levels. there are riches to be found here both lyrically and melodically on repeated listening and yet it engages immediately on the first play. This is a very honest and refreshing album that wears its heart on its sleeve. Enjoy!'"I don't normally get sentimental over songs, but Sometime Somewhere Someone is the kind of song that makes you cry a little before you sleep. Harley's lyrics are earnest, feels so close to home and at times heartbreaking. My other favourites are the steamy version of Rolling Stones' Beast of Burden and Will You Listen. I haven't heard anyone like this since Brenda Russell, Barbara Streisand and Dido. This album is definitely a winner.
