  1. Moments of delight, such as 'Thinking About You,' are few, though 'Boots and Sand', about Yusuf being refused entry to the US, labours hard to inject levity.
  2. Roadsinger is a crowd-pleaser, hewing to Yusuf's classic sound in tight, sweet ballads like 'Welcome Home,' which pushes his acoustic guitar and ragged voice to the foreground.

    Roadsinger is an improvement on his patchy 2006 comeback "An Other Cup." [Jun 2009, p.135]
