    Blurry Blue Mountain is as idiosyncratic and left-handed as ever, pregnant with moments of mercurial magic. [Dec 2010, p.104]

    Rich, detailed, and poetic, Blurry Blue Mountain explores human emotion and the meaning of life like the great writers of old. Gelb has been around a long time, and on the basis of this he will be for a long time to come.

    So he has plenty of fun with it, but much of this album, which is being bundled with a reissue of the very first full-length Valley Of Rain, finds Gelb a bit...glum. [Year end 2010, p.72]
