Album Review:"This fine collection of songs sound like the kind of seventies 'lost gem' you might discover in some bohemian backwater thrift store; pastoral and dusted folk notes interpolating the sort of vibe commandeered by the likes of Donovan or Cat Stevens.Recorded in the late nineties, this is a beautiful debut; brimming with mesmeric imagery, an album which slowly unravels its historic lineage, delivered with a fine ear for melody and atmosphere. One is instantly reminded of Nick Drake's vocal phrasing, conjured effortlessly over repeated arpeggios and open tuned guitar arrangements.Indeed, it's Hutchison's vocals which remain the central point in this universe, whether they're irradiating on the breeze of autumnal song, as in the haunting title track, 'Come Back Blue Skies' or delivering bitter sweet meditations on love in 'Island Heart'.Bonar Hutchison has delivered a sure-fire, honey-toned classic."
