    This highly agreeable live set assembles some of the choicest bits, harnessing prog, slinky space-funk and vivacious free-form jamming. [Jan 2016, p.73]

    This collection suffers slightly from inconsistency--possibly because it's cut from several different shows. [Jan 2016, p.90]

    Not the place to start an exploration of his musical output--that's the superb Witchazel LP--but it's impossible to dislike an album containing The Innkeeper's Song Couplet. [Jan 2016, p.106]

    The lines are blurred, but there’s no court ruling on whether this is cynical appropriation or genuine homage.

    As a trad dad pastiche it isn’t funny enough, and as a parallel career it’s a painful vanity project. Either way, avoid.
