    This pretty collection brims with introspection about life and love, but it's hard not to wish that Lee would exercise a little less emotional restraint. [11 Oct 2013, p.72]

    It's Lee's talents as an insightful songwriter and soulful vocalist that beg your attention on Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.

    He's unable to find his footing, whether as a blues, soul or country singer, and the end results are a bland pastiche of all three.

    His chops are pro and his delivery almost compulsively spot on, but he's far too thin on what singer-songwriters probably need most: their own point of view.
