    This fourth album sounds like a broken man writing himself better, Tolchin weaving beautifully sparse folk-blues fingerwork around autumnal organs. [Nov 2019, p.81]

    Often described as old beyond his years, on Fires For The Cold Tolchin has truly grown up. [Nov 2019, p.88]

    This is a downbeat set, lean and lonesome yet never morose. [Nov 2019, p.38]

    Fires for the Cold isn't quite up there with Dylan's Blood on the Tracks or Bruce Springsteen's Tunnel of Love, but as a vocalist and songwriter, this represents Tolchin's best and most convincing work to date, and it speaks of experience in such a way that his songs truly match the weary edges of his voice.
