The press response to...
"Absent Friends opens with the all new ghostly ballad I Fall Behind, a song that you'd be forgiven for mistaking for a previously undiscovered Springsteen classic and which alone would be worth the price of the album. Sheer brilliance. "ROOTS & BRANCHES
"MWK evokes the emotion of Springsteen and the troubadour spirit of Dylan whilst keeping his own powerful hold on every song. Great stuff ."
**** 4 out of 5 - WHAT'S ON BIRMINGHAM
"The truly exraordinary thing about MWK is the tightness and intensity of the focus he brings to bear on every track. An album of remarkable vitality and Weston King is never less than riveting."
****4.5 out of 5 - 3rd Coast Music, Texas
"Features the ghostly transcendence of I Fall Behind which is gearing up to become one of Kings greatest songs. Absent Friends captures the spontaneity, humour and emotional intrigue of MWK on any given night. "

"Ein echtes Raritäten-Kabinett des britischen Singer/Songwriters, überwiegend live (12 Stücke) plus zwei Studiotracks. Weniger spröde als "Dinky..." ( http://www.hinternet.de/musik/cd-w/westonking.php ), und dank der Aufnahmen (aus den Jahren 2001-2004) mit den GOOD SONS und seiner aktuellen Band The DECENT MEN abwechslungsreicher; auch die Coversongs kommen gut: z. B. die entspannte Version des UNDERTONES-Klassikers "Teenage Kicks" oder "Black Sheep Boy" (aus der Feder seines großen Vorbilds
Tim Hardin)."

"Odds, sods and live collection from one of our finest songwriters. Probably one for fans rather than one to make new converts but a truely enjoyable enough collection none the less.!
