    Deep and heartbreaking. [May 2023, p.35]

    Five albums in, Roberts seems to have only scratched the surface of the folk song repertoire and his contributions to its curation, performance, and preservation. Recommended.

    His curatorial vision is matched by vocals which have never sounded so assured and impressively soulful. [Apr 2023, p.58]

    Roberts' dying-Jacobite vocals remain thrillingly feeble, and Nic Jones-ly fingerpicking on Wonderful Grey Horse and Young Airly may draw in waverers. [May 2023, p.89]
