"These deeply personal songs all sound as if Chalmers has been hoarding them forever"
"Sounds like a co-write between Leonard Cohen and Randy Newman"Liam O Maonlai - Hothouse Flowers:
"Lovely, well done, beautiful."Nigel Foster - Blues in Britain & Blues Matters magazine.
"Way Back Home is an album of light, dark and shade and that makes it an engaging listen both musically and lyrically.A terrific album."Richard L'Hommidieu, Making a Scene magazine.
