Q MagazineA hugely moving affirmation of life. [Nov 2006, p.136]
-
Like his hero, Bruce Springsteen, he's willing to lay his feelings bare and, in a heartfelt, plainspoken sort of way, invite lovers to ride beside him on life's bumpy path.
-
Under The RadarBorn in the U.K. is a disarming, wistful work that observes Gough’s idealism with piano-driven balladry. [#15]
-
Born in the U.K. has some lovely idiosyncratic moments... but not much in the way of new ideas.
-
Too often, his words and melodies end up drowning in their busy surroundings.
-
"Born" loses its focus amid unabashed nods to Burt Bacharach and songs that are just not done yet, despite smart tempo changes and pretty melodies.

PaulW.Dec 5, 2009WHATT?!! How could everyone rip this album some much? There are so many damn good songs on it!! I think there is some conspiracy to take down Gough.
