The press response to...

A beautifully packaged and lovingly annotated 15 track compilation of cover versions.  An enjoyably diverse and thoughtful collection which pays unique tribute to a clutch of maverick talents who have all conspired to influence our hero along the way. It's diverting stuff."
Whisperinandhhollerin********** 8/10

"I'm really not sure about covers albums, though I love this one,  warts ' n' all. It just hits home. What we have here is a snapshot of the music that moves and motivates. Quite simply, great songs and great performances."
Net rhythms /  Roots & Branches

A collection of beautiful, off kilter material, all brought together by MWK's elegant, subtle performances.  Wonderful,  in a way that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Maverick  **** 4/5

What King does so well  here is make a whole of disparate elements; it¹s quite an achievement to make seamless transitions from 'Alone Again Naturally' to'Simple Twist Of Fate' to 'Love In Mind'.
Bucketful of Brains

In his craft and his perfections, MWK closely resembles Ron Sexsmith (whose song 'Doomed' he covers here). A pair of insufficiently recognised performers who see no call to lower their standards
Bucketful of Brains

Some surprising choices, 'Young Hearts Run Free' is turned into a protest folk song which works very well with just the acoustic guitars, the song triumphantly thrives.    And Gilbert O'Sullivan is re-appraised and here MWK delves even deeper into the melancholy of 'Alone Again Naturally'. The song settles like a fog cloud of disappointment cloaking feelings, he almost raises the status of the song to classic.

What makes this work, apart from King 's taste, is that he's as phenomenal as a performer,  as he is as a songwriter.
John Conquest -  3rd Coast Music,  Texas **** 4/5

When this album sparks, as on a reflectively wistful version of For No One, a simple strummed Simple Twist of Fate, a soulful reading of Marvin Etzioni's Can't Cry Hard Enough and the lovely Phil Ochs ballad No More Songs, with Lou Dalgleish on piano, then it's very good indeed.
