    The disc is as loose, casual and rollicking as a conversation with an old friend.... across these 65 minutes, his manic energy shines through. [#154, p.87]

    Sounding like a profane camp counselor telling stories by the fireside, Rollins' naturally animated raspy voice is the perfect chaperone through eleven tracks of commentary.

    A Rollins in the Wry stands on its own two feet not so much as a spoken word album chock full of hyphenated poems about how "No one knows me; I am the enigma," but more as punk rock comedy, or hit-and-miss Bill Hicks with tattoos.

    Hilarious. Only now have I finally sat down and listened to some of Henry's spoken word. I'm a Black Flag fan so I thought that I'd give it a go. Humorous, intellgent, diverse and hilarious. I can;t wait until he comes to town again so I can see him live.… Expand
